Sounds like the switching goofed if you were on Automatic mode. I am assuming you found it in the off mode and restarted it.
I have never turned the refrigerator off in any trailers I have had.
I keep it running between trips and also when traveling. I just set it for automatic and it does the switching as needed from gas to electric and back. The gas mode saved our bacon(literally)during the recent hurricanes and several power outages.
Several reason's why I do this. We use the camper refrigerator as an extension to our house unit. Also, our visitors are housed in the Monty when we have company.
The main reason I do it, is because I had a fellow tell me that it would prolong the life of the unit. I can't say this is true, but it beats the heck out of the hassle of taking stuff in and out of it.
