Look on the round burner casing. You will see a tstat looking snap disc. Some have a reset button you push in the center. Others you have to replace if tripped. You should have 12 volts on each side of the 2 wires. IF it is open, then no power to the refer, and YES, if run off level and the burner flue overheats, that will trip that safety disc. Doug
Doug, you are the man. I checked the disc and I had 12vdc in but nothing out. I pushed in the reset button and viola everything works. The thing that stumped me so much was that even the interior light stopped working, but I see now that it gets it's power once the on/off switch is turned on at the fridge panel, and I had no power at the panel. So in summary, I forgot to turn off the fridge when I took the trailer home from the RV park, and the gas was shut off. When I got home and plugged the trailer in, the auto light and the check light came on at some point, but I didn't realize what the check light was telling me. I thought it was a cooling problem from being parked un-level, but it was actually telling me the fridge lost power and the LP gas didn't ignite. Then both lights went out on the panel, and the interior light even stopped working. I was envisioning an expensive repair at an RV shop, but all I had to do is reset the stack t-stat. (mine has the reset button) My best advice to anyone with similar issues after this experience, is ask Doug.
Thanks again Doug, much appreciated. Mike
