Subject:      Troubleshooting Gas Fridge
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi All,

This weekend I managed to determine that the 12v and the 110v parts of the
fridge were working on my 87 Westy.....however, so far I have not been able
to get the gas part to work. So I have a couple of questions.

1. To get it running the rocker switch should be in the center position,
the temp control to max...   Should the switch on the far right be
horizontal or vertical?

2. To light it, according to the manual, the pump must be pumped about 5 or
10 times...and then the little button next to it is held down while the
pump switch is pushed in to get the ignitor to function....

So far I assume I'm doing everything right....I noticed that when I push
the ignitor button in, I do see a spark (at night) in the little pilot
light window....but nothing seems to light...and yes, I've opened up the
propane tank and popped off the vent cover.

3. Am I doing anything wrong here?

4. If I'm doing everything ok, how can I trouble shoot this thing?


Thanks in advance.

Ric
