You may get more replies if you start your own thread as opposed to having this stuck in the middle of this one. But just to take a quick simple stab at it nothing happened to clog your vent tube on the roof did it?

Hi Ray- I have moved your thread to it's own starting point.

We need a bit more info-- Was your Dometic (note spelling, not domestic) refer running OK on LP gas before or were you on electric hook up??

Have you checked your LP gas supply by lighting a stove burner?
Does your fridge have a "check" light?? Is the check light on??
Try turning the fridge off and back on.
Go outside and listen carefully at the outside fridge vent.
You should hear a series of clicks as the fridge lights and then a subtle fluttering sound as the flame lights. The spark clicking should stop immediately when the fluttering starts.

Good luck!

If you've been driving down the road, check the location of the slider that sets the temperature. Unfortunately, DOWN is warmer. And if you hit a few bumps, it tends to slide DOWN.
