With the click OP is hearing, pilot trying to light, it sounds to me like the frig is trying to go to gas because of not having elec power. Just my thoughts of what mine has done.
Bingo.
Definitely not what I was expecting to see. Based on the corrosion it's probably been loose for a while and finally came out through the mountains on the VA-KY-VA journey.
Maybe it happened even before that, seeing as how BOTH my propane tanks are empty. Probably been sucking it down since I bought it a month ago when they were filled at dealer. :M
Now I know.. pre-delivery-inspections don't really mean much, gotta go through everything yourself.
Thanks everyone for their help, and yes Biscuit was right about the clicking - I (stupidly) assumed it was on AC and that was impossible. Once the tanks ran out it was still trying to use gas and tripped once it gave up. :(
I feel like an idiot, but I guess expensive mistakes are the ones you don't usually ever repeat.
I'll clean off the contacts and see if I can bend the prongs so there's no chance of it happening again - though it was probably not in all the way from day one.
