Refrigerator problem

My refrigerator is not switching from electric to gas.
  • More details please. What model, what are more symptoms, when did it start doing this, is both LP and Shore power avail???
  • Open the access door and see what is or is not going on. Provide as much information as possible include the fridge type if you hope to get some reliable help and not random speculation. Also check the vent and the burner area for rust flakes blocking the flame openings.
  • Just to verify the obvious: this isn't a residential refrigerator, is it?
  • Said another way, how far into the ignition process are you getting?
  • If you have LP, and batteries are good.
    See if your igniter is producing a spark, the igniter electrode may need adjusting.
  • I think you get better responses if you make a bit more of an effort when posting a question.

    - check to be sure you actually have LP in the tank
    - check to be sure that the AUTO position on your fridge is selected
  • You would think after 2600 posts, you would KNOW to include brand/model of refer. Are you positive you have waited long enough for it to switch? IF the refer does NOT call for cooling it will NOT indicate switch to LP. Once it calls for cooling it will then start on LP and show it. Doug
