Refridgerator will only work on gas

Apparently the stack for the gas burner gets warm from the heat element too. I had been working on the Refridgerator issue randomly while helping a disabled neighbor build a handicapped entrance to his park model and thought the gas had been kicking on while I was away. sorry I didn't respond as timely as you would have liked. thanks to all for your suggestions.

But what caused the fuse to blow!
Wiggle the wires where they enter the stack for the element or at the end of the element where the wires go in.
See if that blows the fuse!
I would also inspect the back of the circuit board for burnt areas.
My luck says it will fail the day after we leave home!

Yes, apparently it was the fuse.

What about it Repo. It's been 3 days and you have not acknowledge any of the suggestions given to you. Did you get if working or not?

5 amp fuse should be the 120 volt element.
Remove the cover of the circuit board in the outside access. Locate the two wires that go to the 120 element. They should be marked on circuit board. Us an ohm meter and check these wires one at a time to a good ground. Any measurement would indicate a grounded element. Normally happens where the wires enter the element in the stack.
Yours may look like this.

Next would be to disconnect 120 volt power from refer, Remove the circuit board and look at the back for burnt spot.

Be sure to unplug from a/c current before trying this. Jb

OP needs to isolate the problem.
Yes, it could be the element, but it could also be a failure on the circuit board.
By disconnecting the element, it can be determined whether it is the circuit board or an element problem.

Fuses don't often burn-out just because... typically there is a good reason that the fuse burnt-out. You will likely need to replace the element.

5A fuse blown.......electric element...replace...it's bad

Perhaps the heating element is burned out. Simple replacement if so.
