Norcold fridge

Hi all
I have a norcold fridge n811,power board 628661,works fine on electric but when you try to light on gas both lights on the control panel flash,you check outside behind the panel you can hear the igniter going click click click for about a dozen times with the pilot light on and a nice blue flame but then the solenoid clicks and the flame goes out.i have tried the hard lockout reset but still the same happens.
Any ideas before I buy a new board.
  • My Norcold works fine on electric, and fine on gas (ignites immediately) but will not work properly on auto. When i unplug it from the shoreline, it will not ignite. I have to switch it to gas only.

    Think this is the same issue?
  • ALWAYS replace the SPARK electrode when this happens. As others mentioned, a whole lot cheaper. Also, there is no pilot flame, just the regular flame. Doug
  • Start by doing a complete "burner area tune-up". No parts and no special tools needed.

    You will be removing and cleaning the burner tube, cleaning the ignitor/thermocouple and setting its gap.

    Also, remove the gas jet and soak in alcohol.

    ONLY if this fails to fix it should you start considering spending $$.
  • Flame sensor could be bad. Cheaper to try that than buy a new board only to find the sensor is bad.
