Default Norcold Refrigerator would not fire up on propane.

The Norcold would not fire up on propane and I found the problem. After we used it on shore power all night and I tried to switch to propane, the fridge would not fire up. I did some research and found if no demand, the propane would not light. Either turn the temperature regulator up all the way or if it is all the way turned up as with us since we are trying to keep the freezer full of frozen food to deliver to my brothers (steaks), let it sit a while prior to lighting it. The temperature in the refrigerator was too cold, not creating a demand consequently not allowing the propane to light.

I sure hope I am diagnosing this correctly. It sure seems to be the problem and will continue to monitor it as we do more traveling.

Hope this helps someone. Note, I did not have this problem prior to freezer door so it stays shut, using Bill thread of how to fix the spring on the freezer door. I have tried to several times and now it lights up every time. Sure had me scratching my head.
