Norcold 1200 Frig won't run on Propane ?

Runs on shore power, but won't run on gas. Any ideas? Yes, propane is on. Ran fine on propane a couple days ago, but not now.
Thanks
  • I've had same kind of issue with my Dometic. Reset button on the chimney in mine did the trick
  • Had mine refuse to light once because a little bit of soot had fallen out of the chimney onto the burner.

    So now I blow out the chimney and burners of the propane hot water heater and frig every year.
  • How to make your signature so we can serve you better:

    1. Log on and click "My Preferences".
    2. On the "My Preferences" page click the middle box and enter your rig info.
    3. Scroll to the bottom and click "Submit Changes"
    4. Exit and you're done.
  • Tried it again, and nothing. Checked and made sure it had power, which it did. Moved the little propane valve a few times, and presto she lit. Yes, it was in the open position to begin with.
  • How far into the "light" process does it get?

    Can you hear the ignitor "clicking"?

    Can you feel/hear the gas valve opening and/or smell propane?

    Do you see any flame? If so, now long?

    And, yes, all this depends on the PC board receiving 12+ VDC. But, that applies to running on 120 VAC as well (the PC board still runs on 12 VDC irrespective of "heat source".
