Norcold problem Fixed I think.

Hi Friends,
New problem with Norcold 1200, Runs perfect on electric, plenty cold etc. Doesn't automatically switch to propane. Check light comes on, NO propane (Tanks are full) I turn on and off several times, doesn't light. Leave alone for 10 mins, turn on then smack the gas valve and it lights.

Any ideas?

I turned the gas valve off and on, Then blew the dirt from the burner,
seems to work fine, plugged in and unplugged, it works.

Thanks.
  • Keep smacking the gas valve as needed..........

    OR fix gas valve problem.
    Contacts/terminals dirty.....loose...corroded
    Gas valve solenoids sticking/binding

    Dad used to whack the top of the ole RCA TV to make it work.
    Finally had to buy a new TV
