problems with fridge

Question

I had some fiberglass work done on the back of my 5er that happened to be right next to the fridge. since I got it back, I tried using the fridge with propane and I can hear it light, but then it would go out. This happened all three times I tried it. It works fine with electricity so we were fine for our trip. what should I look at - or do to fix this?

Thanks
Mike

Check the flu.  It is possible that some debris from the glass work is clogging up the flu and not allowing the burner to operate.  If the RV was kept outside during the repair it is also possible that mud dogbbers or birds have clogged the flue while it was there.

Sounds like you need a new ignitor.  You can test by removing it and wrapping the white portion in electrical tape and put back in but do not use the little screw to hold it. You can buy them on Ebay or at CW.

Check for debris in the flame area. It could be blocking the flame sensor. If flame sensor doesn't "feel" the heat it will shut off the LP system in the refer.
