Hi, folks. I recently bought an '07 Winnebago Vista. It has a Norcold fridge that has just quit running on propane, and I could use some insight and suggestions, please.
We've been out on the road for a month. No issues running the fridge off of the LP until today. We stopped at a Wal-Mart early in the day, and I realized as we were loading groceries that the fridge had warmed up some. I checked the indicator lights. Both the green "on" light and the yellow "gas" light were flashing. Turned it off and back on a couple of times, to no avail. I could hear it trying to light - four or five clicks, then a pause, then clicks, then a pause. But the gas never ignited. I went outside and pulled the panel to get a closer look. As soon as I did that and the wife turned on the gas, presto - ignition. "Gremlins," I figured, and went back to loading the chow.
The fridge worked fine on gas most of the rest of the day while we were driving (about 350 miles). Then this evening we stopped an boondocked outside of a casino in New Mexico. Suddenly, both lights begin flashing again. This time I can't get the darn thing to restart. Tried pulling the panel, and I just cant tell what's going on (its dark and the wind is blowing 25-30 mph).
I can tell you that we're perfectly level and that we have plenty of propane. I've lit the burners on the stove and they work fine. But when I try to light the fridge, just clicking and no ignition. Should I try giving her a tune-up in the morning (check burner tube for rust/debris, check ignitor gap, clean propane jet, etc? Thoughts on what I should focus on?
Certainly appreciate any wisdom you folks might be able to impart.
