Subject:Fridge 12V suddenly not working, LP LED stays on

Hello all--

I've spend the last three days camping at a kayak recreation center
in my westy. I was operating stand-alone, using the fridge on LP gas.
It worked great.

For the trip home tonight, I switched to 12V and noticed halfway
through the four-hour trip that the fridge was warm and the blue
"gas" pilot light was on as if I were still running the fridge on LP.
In fact, the gas was turned off at both the internal and external
cutoffs, and the rocker switch was on 12v. No flame was visible in
the sight glass.

Any clue as to what is going on here?

Thanks,

Jimn
