Sue coulson you need to keep this with your Gas problem as the issues are going to be connected somehow.

I'm not sure if you are aware or not Sue, but from room temperature to cold (5 degrees), can take hours to achieve, hence some folks cooling the fridge/freezer down overnight, before loading up the next day.
How long has it been on mains?
Having just seen Dane's post before adding mine, there is obviously something else going on, so maybe my reply isn't useful.
Good luck sorting the problems out Sue.
Jock.

With the other tread about gas problems it sounds like a control problem. Could either be the control panel PCB or the unit on the back of the fridge that controls power source & ignition.

I had pcb go on my fridge and had real difficulty finding the part. This company were excellent, found the part and I got it the next day. https://www.swordcrowncaravans.com
Worth a try, if you do find out which part is required.

Non-level should only affect the cooling not the gas flame unless a really steep slope.

We found many years ago that food anywhere near the metal convection plates “ greatly “ reduces cooling by reducing air flow and renders the fridge useless.
Empty fridge of all contents and try again if issue repeats.

If it was a few minutes it would point to the flame failure thermocouple but I wouldn't expect it after an hour might be worth changing a lot cheaper than a new fridge.
The mains not working it could just need a new element.
Does it work on 12v?

Sue coulson that's sorted the gas side but what about the 230v mains issue, that's nothing to do with the gas side
