RV fridges take a LONG time to cool , 24 hrs minimum , I start mine 48 hrs before I put food in.
The fault light is an indicator that the water heater failed to light in three tries , so the control board shut down .
Turn the water heater off, make sure the service valve at the propane tank is ON, note that opening the service valve too fast can trigger the safety " line burst " shut off built into the tank , that requires system back pressure to keep open. Turn the service valve off , then open it SLOWLY to re-set.
Light a stove top burner to insure propane is in the system , then restart the water heater.

EDIT: Do you have the owners manual for the fridge , maybe the manual can provide info on the switches , my older Dometic doesn't have those.

Skip beat me to it! I agree with the hot water heater and the fridge diagnosis. The lac and clc buttons are for moisture control inside fridge. The CLC switch controls the humidity inside the fridge in damp climates. If you are in a pretty dry climate you can leave it off. The LAC switch leaves the light on inside to assist in that as well.

Just a little suggestion on cooling down the fridges. I place two large gallon bottles frozen in my my fridges cuts that time to just about 6 hours and I always used chilled item from the S and B

If you are using propane for the water heater, you may want to try and purge the air. A simple trick is to light you stove burners to remove air from the lines and then try to relight the water heater.

Agree with others in the fridge.
