Fridge Won't Run on Propane 2012 Sightseer 33C

[dlenio]

Hello
I cannot get my fridge to light/run on propane. I do have plenty of propane, Stove and water heater work fine, ignitor works, no flow to burner. I blew out any dust or cobwebs, no obstructions.
Likely culprit? Solenoid?
thanks

There are some good troubleshooting YouTube articles on this you might check. I won’t explain all of them but if it were me
I would want to clean the oriface (sp) where gas is released and this is easy to do. If you igniter is trying to fire (you should clicking when you turn it on) this is a good thing to check. The videos will walk you through the different steps including info about your motherboard. Good luck. Travato John

I would go searching for troubleshooting and manual to be sure to get the best/correct info as things change so often.
Depending on brand/model number, but it does sound like a time to check voltage getting to the solenoid!
BUT? The big question is whether that voltage is getting sent out by the board and I would not want to invest time, effort and money in changing either before getting better ideas of which might be at fault!

If there are plug type connections at different points, it can sometimes be quick and easy to wiggle them around a bit to see if clearing corrosion might help?

Getting the right manual to point to the right spots to check that voltage would be a first step for me.

I had a similar problem. I found it was related to an obstruction in my flue vent. I found it by removing the refrigerator vent on the roof and peering inside the flue with a flashlight. I found a piece of fiberglass insulation had flopped over and restricted the flue flow.
