Help With Operating Fridge on Propane
When switching our fridge to propane, I understand that I spark it until the meter moves into the green. However, after that, is it supposed to stay in the green? Our meter moves back to the white...

I have a similar fridge in my van. You should have 2 buttons to push - one is the "sparker", the other allows a little extra propane thru until the thermocouple heats up and allows the valve to stay open (as I understand it...). Once the needle goes up into the green, release the sparker, but continue to hold the other button in for maybe 3-5 seconds. If the fridge hasn't been run in a while, then it may need cleaning at the burner so enough flame reaches the thermocouple probe to keep the gas valve open. The beauty of these types of fridges is they do not need any 12V souce to keep running! ST
