Fridge short circuit

I have an Electrolux three way fridge which has decided to throw the safety switch. We had a storm last night with winds + rain hitting the side of the van with the three vents for the fridge. The floor was wet under the fridge. I have cleaned it all out and run the fridge on gas today effectively drying out the area. Is it likely this could be the cause of the problem? The wires appear to go into a sealed section, so can water get in further? There is a 5 week wait for the local caravan repairer, so will a general appliance repairer do?

THanks,

Anthony
