guttu,

Welcome to the FMCA Forum.

Verify that you have 12+ VDC to the refrigerator (outside access door).

Have you done the "burner area tune-up" as outlined in your refrigerator owners manual? It takes no parts and no special tools.

Causes addressed in the tuneup include:

Rust, debris or insect nest in burner tube.

Rust, debris or insect next between ignitor and burner tube (shorting out ignitor).

Improper ignitor gap.

Debris in the propane jet.

If it does not light and stay going after a tune-up and with proper 12 VDC voltage, tell us exactly how far in the process it gets:

Have someone else turn it on so you can determine exactly at what point the process breaks down.

Do you hear the ignitor "clicking"?

With your hand on the propane valve (back area of refrigerator) do you feel it open (click)

Do you see a flame appear?

How long before the flame goes out?

Do you have propane in the tank? Is the propane valve fully opened at the tank? Does you gas stove light?

guttu,

From your question I could not tell if you were saying that the unit would not light, or would not stay lit??

If it would not light, do as Bill said check that you do have Propane, Don't always beleive the guage on the tank, try to light the stove and check to see if your hot water heater is lighting.

If you confirm that you do infact have propane, do the unit tune up as Brett said.

If it will light but not stay lit it may as simple as bad or out of line thermocouple.
