Need help with my fridge

Hi everyone! We just bought our first popup camper and at our first use I realised the fridge doesn't work. It's a Dometic RM2393. In fact, when I turn the 120v switch to on the breaker trip. I tried to plug it directly to my garage and it does the same.
After reading a few post I disassembled it to test the heating element. The resistance should be 104 ohms but I read 96 ohms. Could it be the heating element?
When I turn it on, sometimes it takes 10-15 seconds before tripping. When it does that the heating element begins to heat.
Do you have any cue of what could be the problem and what I could test next? Thanks for your help. We are tight on our budget so I can't afford a professional to spend hours on that right now...

Oh, by the way, my 120v heating element has 3 wires. 2 white and one green. When I put one probe of my multimeter on the green and the other one on the core of the heating there is continuity. Is that normal?
