Puzzled by Refrigerator Problem
I'm getting ready for a trip, and can't figure out what's going on with the Dometic fridge in my six year old trailer. FWIW, we didn't use it at all for a year.
Yesterday I tested the stove, water heater and fridge. All worked, I left the fridge on for a couple of hours, and it was working, starting to get cool. The gas burner fired right up.
Today I took both propane tanks to be filled, came back and hooked them up and tested everything again. All worked except the fridge. When I set it on gas, I never heard the clicking sound to light it but I could see what seemed like a burning pilot light inside the firebox area. But the burner never fired. I tried it several times. When I set it on electic, the pilot light disappeared, but came back every time I set it on gas. I've never had any trouble with the fridge over many trips. Of course, there are no service people available where I am.
Anyone have any ideas?
