Subject:      stupid refig. question-newbie on the frig

I have slowly been working on my punch list on the van going on 3 years....

I took the frig out, (on 110 volt the fan made alot of noise )

So I took it out and replaced it with a new fan from Gowesty, then I cleaned out the combusion chamber it was spotless, makes good spark

cleaned the fins and repainted the fins

added the check valve upgrade from Gowesty

I added a wireless thermometer from rip off shack , it reading device is on the dash , so going down the road I can is it is cooling or not

I install it back in there, removed insulation were I could shot primer on the seams, to slow the rust

After a bunch of pumps, I heard a woof, smelled burnt propane going out of the exhaust, it only lasted a 2 minutes?

I did not let it run over night on 110 volts...

The manual says "look for the pilot light " on the bottom left, is it saying the LED light, or am I suppose to see a flame on the bottom left of the frig

The LED light never came on.
