Refrigerator not cooling on shore power.

I have 2016 surveyor
When I have the propane on the fridge works in auto mode. I don't know if it's on gas or power. I have shore power plugged in and propane off. The fridge is not running. I check fuses and GFI. All good. What else could be wrong.

Check circuit breaker in breaker panel.

Open outside vent and see if outlet fridge is plugged into has power.

Checked outlet and reset GFI ,checked fuse and breaker , vent is clear. I did all that before coming here with questions. I turned the propane back on and after an hour I hear motors running on freezer and fridge now. Both cold now. Turning gas off to see if they keep running

A 2-way absorption fridge doesn't have any motors.

Sounds like the little 3/4 inch long 5 amp fuse under the black cover accessed from the outside that is blown.
