16ACE27 recommends I check the heating VAC heating element burned open when 240 VAC was applied to it. That's what you need to check next. Any ideas / suggestions on how I do this?

The make of the fridge is Dometic. I uploaded several pics along with the 5 amp fuse that was burned and a new replacement 5 amp fuse.

You can place your hand on the chimney several inches above the burner. It the electric heater is working the chimney will get quite hot long before the fridge starts to cool. I check this every time, I turn on the fridge before a trip. (I have 50 amp pedestal where the coach is stored). I seldom use propane as the fridge woks fine on the inverter or shoreline.
