The "battery meter" will always read 100% if you're plugged into shore power and will only read 4/4, 3/4, 2/4 or 1/4 if unplugged. That is, at best, a guess on what the battery condition "might be". A battery at 13.4VDC may be good with no load and may go to 10 VDC with the application of a load, so pressing that button and seeing 4 LED's doesn't mean much.

That's why I asked if the refrigerator gas function operates when you press the gas button. If it does, it's getting the 12VDC from the converter. If you unplug the trailer from shore power, then the refrigerator is getting its 12VDC from the battery. If it doesn't work without shore power, the only thing that's changed is where the 12 volts is coming from (converter or battery)... That would, to me, indicate a battery issue not a refrigerator issue.

So, does it work on gas when you switch it to gas while connected to shore power? On your model, you'd press the MODE button until the GAS indicator is lit.
