More often than not a 3 way fridge fails on 240/12 volt before it'll fail on gas. I'd try taking the back off the fridge and pulling the gas burner out and checking for a blockage. I had a
spider's egg nest in
mine once - white fluffy ball. Blew it all out and worked fine after that.
Also
check gas bottle is full (duhh!) or
check regulator is actually letting gas through to the fridge. If it works on 240/12v then there's nothing wrong with the refrigerant, just the heating/vapourising of the refrigerant is the problem.
Should be a simple fix. But watch out for any fiddly little bits when taking the burner apart.
