Update by OP:
BRAND NEW Norcold refrigerator not working. Needs repair. It will not stay lit... Just "woofs", and dies.... Repeatedly.
Yes, under warranty....., but a non working refrige full of food is frustrating! And not cheap.
We are in Moab traveling south. The installer had me try several (simple) things to "correct" its reluctant ways on the way down, but no joy.
Arranging service on our way south.... :-(
Update - later that same day, but post is yet another day later:
Camping World tech in Albuquerque fixed the fridg. Took him about 15 seconds to sort it out, then "fix" it.
The igniter was too far from the gas outlet (from the factory). The gas would make a very small "ball" of gas, then ignite with enough oomph (the woof) to blow out the flame.
He bent the igniter closer, now it ignites the small flame (as intended), so it is consistently working/cooling now. The igniter is buried/protected enough the installers didn't bump, or mess with it.
Very frustrating. Obviously my installers did not test the unit on propane after installation. :-( grrrr
