rm212f fridge not working on hookup

Hi all,
I have an electrolux rm212f fridge which works on gas and battery (tested on a long drive last week) but not on electric hook up.
I suspect it is the heating element but want to know if there is anything else i should be checking first?

I have a cf8 ZIg Unit which appears to work and 3point plugs work on hookup. Could it be one of the zig fuses or elsewhere?

IF it is the element is this an easy swap or worth getting in an expert? Any help on what this could be and where to look would be gratefully received.
Thank you

It is an easy swap - once you have found the screws into the side of the fridge that hold it in place. Make sure that you have disconnected the power first. Check that the element is 0 ohms across it before replacing and don't buy the replacement from a camping/shed on wheels place as they charge a minimum of 2x ebay's price (£80+ as opposed to ebay@ £35 to £40) Annoyingly you can pick up a s/h fridge for the same price!
