Well, we made the mistakes of all mistakes and we did not use our surge protector when we plugged in at my parent's house. Their handyman installed what we thought was the correct outlet for our 2019 Imagine 2600 RB. When we plugged in our power chord we immediately heard an unfamiliar sound... our standing fan that was plugged in (I know.. we should've unplugged it before) burned out. We immediately realized something was not right with the outlet. After researching we discovered that the handyman installed a 220V outlet rather than a 120V.

We realized that some of our electrical was not running appropriately once we plugged into our friends generator. Long story short, we replaced the converter and that solved most of our problems. However, our Dometic fridge only works on LP now. We replaced the 5 amp glass fuse behind the refrigerator panel. After replacing that, the light on the eyebrow board shows the AC is working but the fridge and freezer do not cool. Prior to all of this, the fridge and freezer worked perfectly. Any suggestions on what else could be the issue here?

You'll need a meter and start tracing anything on the 120v side of things. I would start with the heating elements and make sure they didn't burn up. He could have burned up the control board too. Hopefully he is a reputable contractor and has insurance to cover your repairs.
