Refrigerator question

I have just purchased a Tommy Bahama 2018 19-foot Airstream. When I run the refrigerator on electric, I have noticed that the fan in the outside chimney area does not come on. I can feel hot air coming out of the top vent, but the fan (factory supplied) does not come on. I had a 23 ft FC with 2 external fans placed in this area that were installed by the previous owner and they would come on once the area got warm creating an up draft to vent this space and improve the refrigerator performance. So, my question is should this fan come on, does it only come on when on propane or do I need to do something else to get it to work? The temp in the refrigerator seems fine at <40F but I feal that the fan should be running to make the system more efficient.

Some trailers have a switch inside near the fridge to turn off the fan to have it quiet at night and/or not come on when fridge is off. Some threads asking what this switch is, since they tried it when fridge was off and it wasn't hot out so thermostat for switch also kept fan off, so switch didn't seem to do anything.
