Norcol refigerator problem

[Obatanga]

Hi folks. Finally getting the Minnie Winnie out of storage for a trip. This time, the Norcold refrig burner won't fire. What usually causes this? Propane is flowing, but no refrig fire. Don't want to push it so as not to blow the circuit board. Thanks for your help!

I have had the same problem from spider's in the flue. Blow it out with a compressor and try again.

Mine would not lite took some compressed air and blew the burner area out fired right up

Have you purged the line? Turn on the stove and keep sparking, or just hole a butane lighter next to it till you get flame and try the fridge again. This is a common and normal problem when coming out of storage and trying to light things.

Or you could have a spider web in the burner tube.

Thanks, btd. I am hearing the snap, then nothing. Probably needs cleaned out then.

Do you hear the spark snapping for ignition? If you don't, then it's most likely the spark module and or ignitor. If you do, then it may be that rust and corrosion is deflecting the gas flow around the gas orifice, and it needs to be cleaned.
