My frig is hard to light on propane,except when I light the stove burners, and "keep them lit". then the frig lights immediatley.
If I light the stove burners let them burn for about a minute till the flames are nice and blue. then turn them off and try to light the frig. i have to push the ignitor many times to get the frig to light.
even if i hold the plunger (gas) in for a minute or so it still does want to light.
The stove is inbetween the propane tank and the refrig.
any thoughts/ideas etc appreicated.
thanks
What year is your dometic? And what do you mean by "pushing the igniter" or holding the plunger (gas)in for a minute? My dometic does not have an igniter to push. Where is this igniter located? Mine will atomatically try to light 3 or 4 times and if it fails to light, the red "failed to light indicator will come on. You have to turn the refer Off and then ON again to get it to try again. Yes lighting the stove burner is a good idea to bleed the air out of the line.
