Man i'm happy I found this site. i was having trouble with my fridge not cooling on propane. Worked fine on electric but on propane it would not cool. the flame was there but not cooling. Checked a few past posts and other members told/showed me how to remove and check/clean the burner and flue. Well last night thanks to this site i removed and cleaned the burner tube and reassembled in less than 30minutes. Fire it back up and what a huge difference in the flame. I mean you can actually hear the flame now. The fridge and freezer are working awsome now. I can only imagine what it would have cost me at an rv dealership to have this done not to mention pulling my fifth wheel there and back. Thanks a million to all that had input. Now a happy camper.

Glad the frig fix was successful.....but..this site can also cost you tons of $$$$$.

Just wait until you start reading about all the stuff others have and that you gotta have. And then there are all the mods that others have done that you just have to do...:)

Amazing how the pile of scale and rust can settle in to the burner and reduce the flame to a flicker.
Been there done that myself.
Nice you found your solution here, and as mentioned, you posted back to let us all know. That is very helpful to others! ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks for posting the resolve. So many don't. This way posting what you did to fix it will now help someone else! :C

Amazing when it works. I was able to re-set my Norcold from info on here. There were companies that wanted 50 bucks an hour for telephone troubleshooting advise. I got it working for nothing. Just some study time.
