Norcold Refrigerator won't turn on

We are getting ready to leave so I went out to turn on the refrig to get it cold, so that we can load it up but it would not turn on. When I hit the start button to be able to select mode and temp nothing happened. I checked the 12v DC fuse in the control panel tested OK and there is power to the fuse. The 120v AC breaker is also OK, though it should not matter to just to get it to turn on, only to run on AC and rather than gas. It is a Norcold 2118X series electric / propane refrig in a 2016 Seismic 4113. Anybody have any thoughts on what else I can check? Is there another fuse I need to check? We are hoping to be able to leave tomorrow.

There’e pretty quiet, in fact I can’t hear mine running. How long was it on before you checked the temp?

It had been turned off since out last trip. When I pressed the button to turn on, nothing happened, no beep, no display, nothing. I just found a 3 amp fuse in back of the refrig. It checked ok for continuity also.

You may know this already, but these fridges don't have a compressor and don't make any noise when they're running. On my Norcold, when I put the switch from OFF to AUTO, the only thing I see is a green light beside the switch. No running sound, and it takes quite a while (maybe a couple hours?) before it gets cool in there. Does the interior light come on when you open the door?

I just found 2 blown 15A fuses in the control panel. Neither marked as being for the fridge. One was marked for the slide and the other for loft ceiling lights. I replaced both and the fridge is now working and has been running for about an hour, except now it won't allow me to change modes. It is currently stuck in the manual electric mode. When I depress the mode select button to go to manual gas or automatic, it will not change. Propane is turned on.

OK, it appears the optical display board needs to be replaced. I removed the hinge cover and there is a screw that holds the eyebrow in place. It also appears that there is a screw behind the center latch. I am not sure how to dismantle this latch. I am afraid to pry too hard in fear of breaking it. Anyone have insight as to how to remove the center latch?
