Thx, Doug.  I will try plugging it in for a while and then attempt to light the propane.

  Have you tried plugging it in for awhile --- preferably overnight to get the
  intake and exhaust air cycling --- this definitely makes it easier to light.

  Cheers,

  Subject:  Fridge won't light



  Hey, List.  I need help with my fridge which stopped working on propane during
  my last camping trip.  It will not light, but will work on 120V and 12V.  The
  fridge worked fine on propane for the first 5 days of the trip.  It lit up
  quickly and the fridge cooled down nicely.  Then, during the night of the 6th
  day, the propane pilot light went out and I have not been able to get it to
  light since.  There is plenty of propane in the tank.
  I'm familiar with these dometic fridges and hope someone has a tip that will
  make it light.  I hope not to have to take it out of the cabinet.  I've tried
  several things ----1) lighting a burner first, 2) holding in the ignition
  control button (B) for approx 20 secs before actuating the airpump multiple
  times, 3) blowing air thru the drain pipe under the fridge before pumping and
  trying to ignite, etc.
  Any help would be appreciated.
