Does run on electric or are not plugged in? Sounds like a problem with gas if it ran before filling the bottles. Might try closing the bottles wait a bit & then open the valve slowly, sometimes opening too quickly the safety valve will not let gas out.

1. Are your batteries charged?
2. Is your battery disconnect off?
3. Do your stove burners light?
4. Are you plugged into shore power?
5. Can you post a picture of your control panel lights?

Ok, down to WAGs. Since you're plugged in. Is a breaker thrown? Wiggle them, when they trip they don't look much different than when untripped.
How long was it off? It can take hours to cool back down. Since you do not have any lights on, I'm wondering if your control board may have gone out?
Hopefully some others will chime in soon.

Chuckster might be looking for the make and model of the refrigerator also.

I think Chuck was asking make and model of the fridge. I would shut fridge off for a few min, then try it again and see if you get a fault light. It's easy to trip the overfill/ leak valve on propane tanks. To reset lp valve turn all lp appliances off, close tank valve, wait a min, then SLOWLY reopen valve and turn on appliance. Hope this helps.

Yup. Easier to offer help if we know what make/model the fridge is. Blue indicator lights lead me to think it’s an Atwood Helium.

I hope there is no problems with the fridge, I believe they are impossible to get parts for, since Dometic bought the line from Atwood and discontinued it.

JMO abut I’m thinking your cooling unit has failed. Is any part of the tubing hot? If not then the only other check would be to make sure the flue is clear and the heat from the flame/element isn’t blocked.
Take the wind guards off, turn off the fridge. Using compressed air and a blower nozzle, blow up the tube just above where the flame would be. There is a spiral piece of metal called a diffuser hanging in there and we have seen buildup of soot affect cooling. Other than that I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think the fridge is done.

Every inch of the tubing gets hot could it be thermometer inside the fridge?

Probably not. You could try changing it but I don’t think it will help. Failed thermistor usually results in a lukewarm cooling unit.

Dometic refrigerators have two glass cartridge fuses on the control board in the back of the unit. I haven't worked on many Atwood refrigerators and can't find my service manual right now, but there may be a fuse on the control board. If so, when you ran out of gas, you may have activated a "fail-safe" circuit that blew that fuse ????
WAG, for sure, but have you checked the control board for a blown fuse?
