Atwood HE-0601 Refrigerator

I have just installed a new Atwood refrigerator in my travel trailer and I have let it set over night. When turning it on I get a red check light. I have done what the manual says pushing down temp and mode buttons holding for 2 seconds and all of the blue lights flash in the panel. I don't know where to go from here, any suggestions are appreciated.
  • Atwood HE Model is not any different then a Norcold Or Dometic except that it uses HELIUM Gas vs HYDROGEN Gas

    It does have a built in 'Tilt Monitoring' and the 'CHECK' fault light indicates more then just an issue with propane not lighting.

    Below ae ERROR Messages for that HE Model
