This could very well be the problem. I JUST went through this with mine and it WAS the regulator. Just because the stove works "great" does not mean the regulator is good for the fridge service. Easiest check is to take your barbecue tank and regulator, everyone has one of these, right ? and hook it up to the line to the fridge at the tank where you can take it off the regulator there. You will need a male ~ male union for the flare connectors. If it works fine then you need a new regulator, Marshall Brass 290 for horizontal service.
>>>>>Vanners, My dometic has been cleaned, orifice cleaned, chimney blown out, works great on the bench. But at sea level the flame is weak and blows out when driving. Won't run at altitude unless I hold the starting gas button in. Stove works great. Any ideas?<<<<<<<<<
