A lesson learned
Monty has been sitting for about 2 months--finally get a weekend free to that her out. Check list--all goes well. Turn on refrigerator--thirty seconds--Check light comes on --check manual. "If the RV ahs been in storage for awhile, you may have to repeat several times because automatic lighting times out after 45 seconds and propane needs to reach the burner." Several more tries--check light comes on each time. Hummmm---try shore line. Switch to "auto"--cursed check light still comes on--PANIC. Oh no, visions of refrigerator replacement. Scoured the manual--no help. Called my adopted dealer and talked to the service manager.
"Did you check your battery?"
Well, no.
"It takes 12 volts to run the system on your refrigerator. If you have less than a 12 volt charge on your battery, your refrigerator won't start up."
But I have the shoreline connected.
"Doesn't matter, you have to have 12 volts on your battery.
Oh, OK, thanks, I'll try it. Voltage = 11.6. Charge battery--refrigerator runs. All is well in Montana Land and they lived happily ever after.
