1. In Auto mode, the LP lights and indicators will not come on or function, because the refer is working on 120. IF you have it on Auto and the LP lights function on the inside panel your refer has LOST the 120 circuit.
2. Lost 120 can be
1. the breaker for the 120 plug has tripped
2. Your receptacle for the refer is on a GFCI and the GFCI has
tripped
3. You have 120 to the refer receptacle and the 5 amp fuse for the
120 circuit ON the Norcold board has blown due to your power
outage
4. Both your 120 element fuse AND the 120 element have failed due
to that power outage
2. LP function WILL NOT Cool faster than 120 operation--common misconception
3. When starting a warm RV refer, you always give it 24 hours to reach optimal max cooling. You will notice cool/cold in the freezer back wall within 2 hours of startup.
4. Odds are you had a power surge when you had the 120 interruption. THIS would not cause a failure of the cooling unit. It would cause the 120 element fuse and/or the element to fail. Doug
PS, you are stating that you do have LP flame when on LP only operation?
