Put in auto mode - unplug and in about 10 minutes see if the "check" light comes on. If it is "on" the frig did not light. Also try in the "gas" mode
Why - no propane - propane off - igniter is not working - not enough 12VDC power for the circuit board (need a good battery)- circuit board defective.

Had the same problem with our previous TT and found I needed to purge gas line. Did this by turning on and lighting the burner of our stove which was right next to refrigerator. Hope this helps and is as easy as this solution.

Sometimes air will get in the line and not light the first time. Water heater will do the same thing if gas is off for a ling time.

I just bought a 2009 Grey Wolf and I cannot get the fridge to run on propane. I hear no ignition source when it should be trying to light checked the fuses in the circuit board and they are good. Fridge works great on electricity. I should hear the igniter but nothing! I too have had some difficulties in older TT with gas not getting to the igniter but you always here the igniter trying, mine doesn't. Will check the battery but even plugged into the truck it won't light. Strange!

Turned out to be a poor ground that didn't provide adequate power from the 12 volt system. Without a good power supply the igniter will not even try to start the burner.

I have an '06 Sunseeker and the gas would not ignite. I opened the access door outside and there was a small, brass knob that was in the off position. Turned it on and the 'frig lit immediately.

If you are not hearing the "clicking" sound, then the igniter may be cracked... That is what happened to me on our old Outback. Once i replaced it, i had fire....

TomPat , I'm experiencing the exact same problem with our surveyor 264 rks and ours is brand new (2015) I have to take ours back to the dealer for this and a couple of other problems. I will post what they find for you.

TomPat , got mine back from the dealer on Saturday , they couldn't find a problem with mine. I tried it out and now it's working. Don't know if they did something that they don't want to tell me about or not. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Light a burner on the stove to ensure the air is purged out of the gas line.
