No Old-Biscuit, the light panel goes out when the fridge goes out and the LP detector goes out too.
You are losing the "12v" that you are getting from the converter while on shore power or else from the batteries if they are connected and not dead.
Mystery why turning on the microwave or water heater on electric will make the fridge work. That would mean no batteries, but the converter suddenly comes to life when the MW or WH is turned on, so now you have 12v for the fridge and LP alarm etc. (you didn't mention 12v lights--got any lights when the fridge quits?)
Seems there is something wrong with the buss bar in the AC dist panel (row of circuit breakers in the power centre) or the neutral (white wire) buss bar? Turning on that MW gets it all to come to life? Heats the buss bar up enough to activate the next door breakers now they fit better on the buss?
You need a multimeter to check lots of places and find out what is going on.
