Frig (Norcold) Won't Lite when Using gas

2011 Forest River Rockwood 8293rkss..Not sure if Im being impatient or what, Frig won't lite when using gas...I have tried resetting like people have mentioned in other threads but when in gas mode the Gas light is on then the gas and On light both blinks! Not sure if thats standard operation but I dont hear any clicks and nothing from outside behind panel...I was trying to start couple days before my second trip out to be cold when we get there but was afraid to just turn gas on and then switch on Gas then leave it!! Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Hope you solved the problem by now. If not, check simplest things first like, will the stove light? To ensure gas is flowing. If so, light a couple burners for a minute to purge air out of lines. If no stove, check bottles. If bottles have gas, turn bottle off for a few minutes, open burner on stove to release pressure, CLOSE burner, then slowly, s l o w l y open valve again. Try lighting stove. If stove lights but frig won't, must be some other issue. Try searching web for "propane frig won't light". Good luck.

If this is your first trip, there could be air in the line. It will only try to light a couple of times, and then will fail out in case there is a problem. I would make sure you have gas to the stove, light a couple burners and let them run for a minute. then try the fridge again. If it fails out, you need to turn it off, wait a minute, then on again, and retry. I would do this up to 3 times. If it still doesn't light, possibly you have a problem. Hope this helps you.

We had a similar problem after a few trips. Just happened to be going by our dealer. They opened the rear access hatch an made some adjustment to a valve. Sorry I cannot give you actual direction.
