Fridge issues on propane

[Jhut]

I've read the post and still cannot figure why my Dometic fridge is not running on propane.

It ran fine until I refilled the tanks. The stove ignites without any issues, if battery is hooked up, fridge also runs fine.

(Also okay on electric)

I have it on and gas only instead of auto.

The fridge needs battery power to run on propane. If battery switch is off then it will not have spark to ignite or run the electronics.

Thanks for the quick responses. Now I will need to figure how to keep my battery charged in storage, I usually keep drinks and other items in my fridge.

Thanks again for the help!

Install a battery disconnect switch since yours doesn't come with one.
I installed a cheap $6 one on my HTT and my batteries were nearly fully charged, after 4 months of storage.

He is trying to keep the fridge going without killing the battery.

Small solar or if you have electric close which I assume you don’t or you wouldn’t be asking battery tender

clean outage fridge and shut everything off. leave the fridge doors open though.
I take the negative wire off my batteries.

Thanks.

Next month I'm hoping to park at home, then I can plug in. I was thinking of a small solar panel, worried it may grow feet.

I installed one on ours, turned it off when it was going to be in a shop for a couple weeks.

Problem with having one though is you have to remember to turn it back ON before you leave for a 4 hour trip to Houston.

If you don't, or if you neglect to turn the propane back on, or BOTH; it gets warm inside the fridge...............Ask Me how I know!!

Hard to tell from picture but gas button needs to be in out position. Looks like you have button pushed in. Button out, auto lite will go out wait a few seconds and you will hear fridge burner fire.

Might have something like this in the LP line. Yes my fridge worked and the chip was crushed in there from when the trailer was new.

This forum solved my issue in the first few replays, I unhook my battery. Without battery power could not ignite, so no working refrigerator.
I will go out the night before and reconnect the battery and turn on the fridge, so it will be cold by the next afternoon when I leave.

Thanks for all the help!!
