Thanks @furpod! I will give that a try this evening. Sorry for the dumb question, but is the 12v fuse you are referencing on the side of fridge, or is it in the main fuse panel? There is one marked as "appliances" in the main fuse panel. Also, the fridge isn't cooling on propane either. Will this help remedy that as well? 

I tested all of the 120v outlets while plugged in at home last night and they all worked so it doesn't appear that the circuit is tripped, but I'm totally new to this so I clearly don't understand how these pods are wired.  

I very much appreciated all of your help and insights!

If the issue is that it needs a reset, then yes.

The fuse I am referring to is in the fuse panel. 

Your power distribution box has two sides, one is 120v, the other is 12v. The fridge can run on 12v, gas, or 120v. BUT no matter which mode it's in, 12v is what runs it's brain.

Also, are you sure you have it on max cold? that is 5 lights or bars, not 1.

Failure to cool on propane is often a need to purge the gas line. Light the stove top for a minute.

Cool. I will give it a reset this evening and update this post. 

I purged the propane line so I'm hoping the reset fixes it. 

Thank you again for your help!

The dealership service dept says they are backed up 6 weeks. So if I can figure this out without them it's worth the time savings. 

Anyone know of good R-Pod service place in Salt Lake City, Utah?

Thanks

If it doesn't get fixed with the reset.. make an appt, use a cooler. DON'T take it to the dealership until the end of the season..

@stephenh the GFCI outlet in the kitchen doesn't have a "reset test" button so I'm not sure how to reset it.

Someone may have put it in a different location in your pod. Check all of the 110V outlets. One of them will have the Reset and Test buttons. It could be near the door or on the outlet near between the dinette and bed, or up by the television. (I think I got all of them)
