Propane fridge won't light

Question

my 1990 trailer has a 2 way Americana fridge.

On ac, it trips my GFCI - Don't care if it won't work...

My fridge was working fine on propane. Now, nope. For some reason, it will not light. I swapped propane tanks to rule that out.

What do you suggest? I am going away this weekend and would really like to avoid the ice in cooler method.

Try cleaning the burner tube.

There is a ton of information on troubleshooting these fridges on the internet.  Look at some of the U-tubes and hopefully get some ideas.

Last time my propane would not lite I found a sliver of rust had fallen from the burner tube across burner and sence/spark probe. Blew it out and good to go
