Our fridge is a 3-way, can run on 120 AC, 12 DC or propane. The propane function failed while we were camped in Bradbury SP in Maine. No hookups there so no 120 to power the fridge. We hooked up the generator to avoid total meltdown but had to immediately cook up everything in the freezer anyway.
We couldn't find an RV service place enroute to our next 2-night campground, Molly Stark SP in NH, so we cranked up the generator again there. While driving, the fridge is 12 DC powered. 12 DC is okay for keeping a fridge at proper temperature but too wimpy to chill down a fridge full of room-temp food.
Based on our cell phone conversations with RV service people, we bought a can of compressed air at Staples and used it on the fridge gas burner. It's now functioning normally. We had to toss a quantity of food, milk, mayo, etc but not that big a deal. End of story.
Oh, bother!
