Yes, you can be on shore power and getting 120v to run things but still be on battery for the 12v things if the converter is not "on"
BTW the fridge will not work on 120v if it does not have 12v to run the controls, so you will lose the fridge too fairly soon at this rate as the battery runs right down.
There are several reasons why that could be. EG, you might have accidentally reversed the battery wires the last time you installed the battery, which blows the two 30a fuses on the converter or its nearby Dc fuse panel.
Or the converter is not getting any 120v input if it has its own breaker and it has popped. Or it is not plugged in to its receptacle if it has a cord and is not hard wired. Or that receptacle is on a GFCI protected circuit and the GFCI has popped. Or...

All of the suggestions above are valid. You'll just have to do some looking and double checking until you find the cause.
