Refrig LP Gas 'Flame' indicator not working?
I have a Dometic Americana, from around 2000. It is a three way, 3cuft. For LP operation, it has a button for the LP, and Piezo ignitor, and an indicator labeled 'Flame'. You press and hold the button for the LP, then press the ignitor a few times until you see the 'Flame' indicator move into the green area showing that the LP gas is lit and operating correctly.
I thought the refrig was broken in the LP mode as I tried several times to get it lit with no luck. So I'd shut it off. The last time I tried, I forget to shut it off. The next morning when I was going to troubleshoot the system, I noticed the refrig was nice and cold. Flame indicator still showed it was off. Tapping the indicator, it sometimes will behave, but that very rare and usually tapping it does very litte.
So the refrig fine, but the 'Flame' indicator needs to be replaced. Seems to run fine if I start it blind, even though the indicators showing its not lit.
Is it possible to just replace the Flame indicator? Any good leads on parts suppliers if so? Any idea if its difficult or very time consuming? I'm fairly handy, understand 12v in general, but have no refrig troubleshooting skills. If its a disassemble and un-plug/plug in scenario I should be fine.
