Refrigerator issue

Picked my trailer up today and found out it was unplugged so batteries were dead. Towed it to RV park fired up fridge/freezer and refrigerator doesn’t seem to be working . Light is on Auto and at coolest setting . Freezer is cooling down but nothing with fridge. Just used it last 3 weeks ago and worked amazing as always.

Batteries are at 13.7 now that we have been on shore power .

You have to remember that absorption refrigerators (which I'm assuming you have since the type of refrigerator wasn't mentioned) take longer to cool down to operating temperature than their residential counterparts; and the cooling is always noticeable in the freezer first. If the refrigerator is working properly, you should see signs of cooling in the refrigerator part by the time you read this.

If you haven't done so already, make a small investment in a refrigerator thermometer. It helps to accurately determine whether the unit is at the proper temperature.

Yes, what type of fridge?

Our fridge was performing poorly, fans in the back necessary for cooling airflow had died. Freezer would get to abt freezing but fridge was only “cool”. New fans, prob solved. Is a Norcold.
