Just turned on the refrigerator (Dometic) prior to hitting the road this weekend. The RV is plugged in to shore power and everything is running but the gas light is lit on the fridge. Problem? I'd rather use electric than propane.

Well if the GAS light is ON, then you either don’t have the auto switch on OR you don’t have power (120 volts) to the refer. If the switch is on AUTO then check the outlet to see if the GFCI is tripped.

If you don't have power to the fridge, how can the light be on?

Which Model is fridge?

When you state ".......everything is running but the gas light is lit on the fridge." WHAT do you mean?
Do you mean the GAS Burner is ON?
Do you mean that the GAS LED is ON.......manually selected GAS (not in AUTO)?
Do you mean CHECK LIGHT is ON?

In AUTO fridge will swap to GAS if AC Power is not detected......outlet not hot, blown 5A fuse on circuit board etc.

GAS Light...LED on if GAS is selected manually...place in AUTO

CHECK Light ON if burner fails to light/prove it lit.....try several attempts due to lack of propane flow not being established after storage period


More Detail Info would be helpful

Correct... bleed. Takes awhile as refers don't use much. Electric uses a lot of power.

If you have it on Auto, you may not have gas to the fridge. check to be sure you have your tanks and regulators working. Turn on the stove and bleed the gas lines. Then try the fridge again. If still not working, check for spider webs or little nests in the lines. Good Luck.
