Question Dometic 2551 refrigerator troubleshooting

We recently purchased a 2016 Forest River 26FKWS. Everything was working. A recent power outage during a thunder storm and now the fridge only works on lp. I have checked everything I can think of but I feel it is probably something sime. We are stl getting acquainted with the camper. What am I overlooking? Any idea? TIA

We're you using any kind of surge protector at the time this occurred. I assume you checked fuses?

Did you check the small fuses on the control board? (usually on back side of refrigerator)

ON EDIT:
>Here< is a link to the RM2551 manual.
Pages 18-19 show the location of the control board and the fuses.

Oh and BTW... Welcome to the forum, I see it is your 1st post.

Thank you for the replies. After much frustration, it ended up being a small glass fuse that did not look blown. Another crisis averted.

I'm sure if it's like the rest of us it will be one of many to come. Always something when you have an RV. Welcome to the forum!
