Propane issues

I picked up our Vista from the repair shop on Friday, 3/23 and had them top off the propane. When I got home, the fridge would light but not stay running so I’ve been using the generator when traveling. The water heater (propane only) worked for the first 5 days but won’t now. The range and furnace are fine.

I can hear both the fridge and the water heater sparking and am sure I can hear propane flowing, but neither are igniting. Is it just coincidental?

does the stove light and stay lit? you may have air in the line. when this happened to us i would just light the stove and let the burners go for 1-2 minutes. that usually cleared up the problem.

Thanks. Yes, they have been used for about twenty minutes today. No change in either the water heater or the fridge.

It ended up being the DSI control board which had a nice burn mark on the underside. The water heater has a 2 year warranty except for this component which is 1 year. Mine is 13 months old :(

Dirty igniter. Took him 5 minutes to clean at no charge. I didn't hear any gas, like I could with the water heater, so it didn't occur to me to try cleaning anything

Get on your knees and beg - might be worth it - only one month over.

One of the warranty issues I had was a flaky on/off switch that the tech couldn’t replicate during their warranty repair work. I may run this by Winnebago and see what they say. The coach has to go back so they can finish their work. I’ll update my other thread with THAT fiasco.
