Refrigerator propane operation

My Domenic refrigerator (14 years old) will not start on propane after the rig has been in storage. If I hook it to shore power it works fine. After the refer gets up to temp I can then disconnect the shore power and it will operate on propane. Any ideas? Thanks for your input.

Sounds like low battery voltage.

Sounds like your battery may be low. Check it in the morning after you disconnect from shore power tonight.


Exactly.....

After being in storage battery voltage is probably low (parasitic drains)

Hook up to shore power and converter supplies proper DC voltage...recharges battery

Then with battery recharged it can supply porper DC voltage when shre power is disconnected
Is it time for your medication or mine?
