Dometic fridge problem
Hello,
2008 Warrior CR3705.....Well for some reason it seems that the gremlins got me again. I posted a few weeks ago about my large dintette slide having issues and now my fridge.
Please bare with me as I will try and make it short but descriptive.
The fridge works as normal on 120V AC (gen and plug in) but will not function on propane. I made sure the Dometic recall was done a few years ago so I am good there. Unfortunately I just got back last night so I have not torn into it but I can offer this information.
Propane tank is full, the line was feeding the RV properly so I attempted to restart the fridge several times with no luck, the "CHECK" light would come on after a few minutes. I removed the rear cover in the storage and checked all the obvious (fuses etc). I had my friend shut it off and restart it. There was NO ignitor click. We tried several times with no success. I decided to have him shut it off, switch to "GAS" only and restart the fridge but this time I manually lit the pilot with success. I watched it for several minutes and the fridge remained lit for 12 hrs.....then the CHECK light came back on. I did the same thing in the morning and again the fridge worked for only 12 hrs and then the "CHECK" light came back on indicating the pilot light went out.
Just to summarize:
Fridge works on AC (gen and plug in)
Ignitor does not appear to be working
I can light the pilot light manually and it stays on
Fridge fucntion for 12hrs when I manually lit it (2 days of camping)
Hopefully someone can offer an explanation for the problem I am having and possibly point me in the right direction in the way of parts I may need to fix it
I appreciate the time
Joe
