Propane & Refrigerator

I have the large 4 door refrigerator in our 3580 Big Sky and it works fine on electrical power but will not switch over to propane. The error code comes on. IDEAS ?

Check if it is in the AC mode, needs to be in AUTO mode to switch over. Make sure you have both propane and 12 volt power to it. When was the last time it worked on propane?

Step 1. Check to see if you are on AUTO. Step 2. Check to make sure that no critter has taken up residence in your igniter. Step 3. Make sure you have proper voltage coming to the igniter. It won't open the propane port if it doesn't sense enough power to cause a spark to lite the gas.

step 4: prime and bleed your gas lines by running the stove top on propane first before attempting to light the fridge.

Same as KOLCB. Once the igniter was adjusted, no further problems.

x2 on purging the gas line. I also have the 4 door frig in my 3750FL After refilling one of my propane tanks my fridge did same thing. I would get an error code when I tried to run it on propane. Lighting the stove burner and letting it run for a minute or two purged the line and it fired up.
