Help! Fridge not working?!

Turned on my fridge last night in my Jayco 16XRB so it would be ready to pack today for our trip and to my horror today when I went to pack it was warm inside. Lights are all on as normal, checked the fuses which were fine as far as I can tell. I also tried unplugging my trailer with the propane on and heard the fridge light as normal but still not cooling happening. The check light is not coming on which seems odd if there was a issue with it. I'm no pro with this sort of thing but thought I would ask if there is anything else I can try? We leave tomoro morning for a trip!

I was going to try and open the back up but don't really know how to and afraid of breaking something else perhaps. I attached some pics. Any suggestions appreciated.

They can take 24 hours to cool. Was the freezer cold? How hot was the rig inside?

Solved! Thank you for chiming in. Hopefully this post helps others.

I keep my trailer slanted forward to make sure rain drains away from my house when parked in my driveway. I recalled someone once telling me the fridge may not work when the trailer is not reasonably level. Sure enough once I raised the front of the trailer up and levelled it the fridge started working.

Cheers!
