Fuse?

Isolated somewhere?

Can't see it failing on all three power sources, there must be a common link.
Still needs 12v on gas or mains so most likely a 12v failure to the control board.

New fridges are very expensive. Since yours doesn't work on anything I think it's extremely unlikely that yours needs replacing completely.
As M-J has said; check fuses and more info needed.
On gas the fridge needs 12v for the control unit and igniter. Do you hear the igniter clicking?

Can you post model number?

What pappajohn says, time for the multi meter and Sherlock Holmes investigation, which will be cheaper than a new fridge.

Dometic Refrigerator Gas Problem - Solved

We have had problems with our Dometic RM5310 refrigerator for some time. The symptoms are it lights easily on gas but won't stay lit. We eventually found that if after driving on 12 volts we left it for half an hour or so to cool down it would eventually light but it could easily take half a...

Does this thread help? Post no3 in particular re the gas.
Can you check for 12v supply at rear of the fridge with meter, the thin cables not the thick 12v element supply cable.

Thanks will try all suggestions let you know if any work .

If it’s stood make sure everything is off and 240 disconnect remove all the contacts on the rear control panel one at a time and clean them spray all the micro plugs and replace. Even after a couple of years they stars to fur up.
worth a try

When selected to gas can you feel any warm air coming out if the exhaust duct? With the bottom cover removed can you see if the small flame at the bottom of the large tube is lit! If you have the flame and warm air is felt it is likely the gas/fluid mix has leaked rendering the fridge scrap

Hi here is a copy of the wiring for the RM 7XXXL Series, connection points x105 is 12V, and x101 is 240v, hope this helps

 

[Gaston aires]

Fridges and doorsteps have their own dedicated fuse, so I’d be looking at that scenario.

Hi, we have just bought a van with a Dometic RM8401 fridge. It all seems ok on the panel but just doesn’t get cool! Gas chills slightly but not enough to keep food safely. 240w just doesn’t chill at all! Any advise please? Not sure where the fuse is to check that?

andypandy14 You could try removing the black wire from the terminal on the fridge burner , clean the terminal and refit the wire.
