Check your voltages starting from the aux battery and going to the fridge and then to ground. Is your LED panel measuring the aux battery? If it isn't that suggests a ground problem. It would help a lot if you can provide a schematic of how your aux battery is wired and what's connected to it. > I also notice the "burner" light is on and bright.

DC operation shifts the panel ground reference a bit, causing it to believe that the thermocouple has gone negative as it would if the flame were running. Beefier wiring and relocating the panel ground to the fridge gas valve would prevent this. Yrs, d |
