Refrig won't work on Gas (was AC)

Took the cover off the burner and cleaned the area out with compressed air. It actually looked pretty clean before I started but blew it out anyway. When I tried to start the refer on gas I noticed the ignitor is not sparking. I adjusted it so it was a little closer to the burner but still no joy. I checked and I have 13.23v going to the board. Where do I go now?

Thanks,

Don't have to much experience with RV fridges but I know a bit about home furnaces. With the AC removed and it needs to work via propane, does it try and then throw a fault code when not successful? I know that there are a sequence of events that need to occur and, for instance, if the propane supply isn't delivered the sequence fails early. I would walk through the sequence and check for points of failure, if possible. A manual for your make/model might have the steps or a fault code reference matrix.

You may merely need to install a new igniter. It's not difficult to remove/install and the igniter assemblies don't cost much.

If you install one and that was the problem, buy another igniter to carry along as a spare.

Yup, igniter or PC board.

You say you adjusted the igniter gap. Did you set it to specs?

The specs call for between .125 (1/8") and .187 (3/16"). It was a bit hard to measure but in appeared to be closer to to 3/16". I tried to set it to 1/8". I'm hoping it's the ignitor but suspect it's the board. Just ordered a new ignitor as Phil suggested but think I'll be ordering a new PC board soon. Know anything about Dinosaur Boards?

Thanks again to all.

Dewey,

I didn't double check my RV's spare parts cabinet before posting this, but I THINK I'm carrying both a spare igniter and a spare board for the refrig.

For us the refrig is too important on a trip to have it let us down, including the loss of the food in it .... no telling where or when.

P.S. I may even be carrying a spare hot water heater igniter, too.

They are the best available--very good.
