Refrigerator

I can't get it to run on propane. Can it be started manually with a lighter? The stove and heater work fine.

A few more details would help Gilbert. New or old TM? Possibility of air in lines? Check to see if back of refrigerator clean and free of spider webs, etc. What was your technique to try and turn it on? Have you ever had it working? That's all this rookie can think of...I now defer to the real experts on this forum!

Here's a couple of threads re: the refrigerator on propane:

More details, please. Can you light it? What year is your TM?

There is a Norcold service bulletin that may apply to you.

I was tought with past RV's to always turn on the propane, then turn on the stove burner, (1) and after a few minutes the air will purge and the stove burner will light, this is a manual lighting so you just have to keep trying. I can usually hear the propane flowing when the line has purged. This is usually the highest point in the propane plumbing and once it is purged and ignited all other appliances will light easier.
It has always worked for me but it's never quick the first time after the tanks have been shut off.
Also spyders love the propane ignition area of our appliances, I have not tried to get to that area on my TM but in the past it was a popular spot at the water heater.

Does it light and then go out or are you unable to light it at all?

A note on using the stove burner - I do the same thing, and I also light the water heater before using the fridge. Because the water heater is on the same side of the camper as the fridge, I think it helps clear that line of air.

Also don't be shy about holding down the gas button on the fridge for a while before clicking the igniter. It takes a while sometimes.

That said, if you know this already, then this clearly isn't the problem.
