Propane fridge issue

[Parsleyfish]

Picked up our Brand new RPOD 202 in April, fridge worked fine with propane and shore power, 2 weeks ago it stopped working on propane, right around when we switched tanks. Heres what we've tried - running cooker to bleed lines and try fridge while burners are on, vacuumed and air blasted in and around burner area in case an insect had got in, switched to another tank and repeated all of above. You can hear it spark and eventually flashes to check gas. Any other ideas before I call the dealer?

Keep trying to start refrigerator on gas it still has air in the lines. Also does it work on electric?

Are your batteries charged? If not on shore power you need a battery for the unit to work on Propance

If its working on electric, try cooking something on the stove and running the hot water tank just on propane if after your dinner is done and youve had a hot shower try the fridge again. If its still not running off propane call the shop. Did it blow any codes? If the high flow code is on then it will work on electricity but not propane and the sensor or mother board is faulty

Sorry for being stupid! What do you mean blow any codes? Is that fuses? If so, fuses are all ok

Thats okay not stupid, on the fridge there is a small display that shows propane or electric icons if its blowing codes it will beep at you and flash a code like loflo or ni01 or something stupid every model seems to have different codes lol

I guess our model is pretty basic, it just flashes and based on the frequency of the flash it points to a gas issue. I'm going to try the furnace on propane and the burners at the same time and see if that clears anything then I'll call the dealer!

The "gas issue" is simply that the burner didn't light. The question is "Why?", and you've already done the basic things to attempt a correction. The next step is to verify that gas is actually flowing to the burner area, but many people are afraid to fiddle with gas. However, it's a very low pressure gas line (0.5 psi) and a tiny flame jet, so not really scary. You could try to manually light the burner and see if it reacts, or disconnect the gas line where it enters the fridge and see if gas can be detected (don't use a match!). Otherwise, it's time for a service call.

The odds of air in the line are not zero but they are also not far from zero.
If you can listen for the "Click" not of the sparker but the gas solenoid
you might place a finger lightly on it to feel for the click.

The suspect list is the control boared (low) the solenoid (higher) and a clogged gas net (highest) Turns out there is a spider that loves to next in gas jets.
