Thanks for the advice. I will test it in a bit once I make it outside. The dinosaur rep did not tell me to take it apart, but merely CLEAN it by cycling the magnet and blowing through it.
I never start the fridge up initially using propane. The 110v heat stick is used to bring up to temp and the gas for travel and once I am at my destination if dry camping. With that said I am not 100% familiar with the burner operation cycles, and may be chasing my tail for nothing.
Hypothetically speaking: At initial startup (hot) using the LP function only, shouldn't the flame remain on for hours straight until the fridge is up to temp.....then cycle off as need?
This is my primary question. :)
Thanks for the time

1. Jump the red wires to bypass the Thermal switch. That will tell you if it is a possible problem.
2. IF the LP fails to stay lit when called for, you WILL get a CHECK light.
3. If the refer is at or close to set interior temp, then leave the interior door open for 30 minutes to raise the Refer temp to continue testing.
4. YOU NEVER TAKE A GAS SOLENOID APART OR TAMPER WITH IT. PERIOD. TAKE IT LOOSE AND CHECK FOR OBSTRUCTION, BUT IF DEFECTIVE YOU REPLACE. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FIX or MODIFY. Dinosaur has some idiots working for them I guess. The Liability to tell someone to do what they did is tremendous.
5. Yes the refer LP cycles on and off as temp requirements are needed. Doug
Yes, BUT, a lot of times after refer is ON 120 and temp has been reached, when you switch to LP, there is NO flame or LP operation because the Refer has reached its set temp. Confuses a lot of RV'ers. Doug
