......operating indicator turns RED
THAT is associated with NO 120VAC Available and fridge SWAPPED to gas but gas failed to light off.
Per service manual
Should none of the heat source inputs be available, the power ON /indicator light (See Fig. 14, D) will be solid RED
Are you using 'AUTO' mode or Manually selecting 'GAS Mode'??
See pgs 28/29 for troubleshooting Solid RED
Most likely issue is with gas train components...clean burner, correct spark gap, spark electrode, gas valve solenoids of circuit board
Burner dirty, spark gap are maintenance ---owner
The other items are NOT components that can be individually replaced......whole gas train is replaced as an assembly which should be a warrnty item.

Thanks for the help.
I will look closely at the troubleshooting guide. I'm now not sure if the the red indicator was solid or if it was blinking... hmm (RTFM right?)
To follow-up:
- I am manually selecting GAS mode.
- The fridge is operating normally for many hours before the indicator goes green to red. (not like a start-up problem)
- Once I set the the temp from 5 to 4, the fridge operated without fault for 3-4 days.
Someone suggested an "ice up" condition and adding a inside fridge fan could help. Does this sound plausible? For sure, this was the first extended trip where we had the fridge packed with food.
Thanks again.
Tom
