The difference between a "Mobile Tech" and a qualified RV tech would have found the problem.
1. IF you have a problem cooling on LP and all other causes have been checked and the refer is in a slide room, The hose routing is always checked.
2. A KNOWLEDGABLE qualified RV tech would have connected the Manometer at the refer valve and checked the LP pressure at the refer. THIS would have indicated a supply problem. And if knowledgeable, would have suspected the hose routing as this is a common problem on RV's with refers in slide rooms. Doug
Sorry, He is NOT qualified. You CANNOT check LP pressure at a Range/Stove. PERIOD. RV Range/Stoves have a built in LP regulator set at 10 inches W/C. Working pressure of a LP system is 11.5 inches W/C. The reason he did not have the part on board is because the Refer LP valve RARELY fails. I cannot remember the last time I changed a refer LP valve. That means YEARS ago. I work on hundreds of refers every year. Doug
Come on Doug, your first post was spot on and was exactly what I was thinking. Put a manometer on it rather than throwing parts at it.
However your second post is misleading, I've tested at the stove many times, the line needs disconnected and the pressure checked prior to the stove regulator.
