Norcold 412.3UL - LP won't stay lit

My MPG 183 has the Norcold 412.3UL. It it runs fine until I switch it to LP. The gas valve opens, the igniter sparks, the flame lights but the igniter keeps sparking away for a few more seconds and then the flame goes out and the fridge display shows "F".

I've tried cleaning the burner, adjusting the gap between the burner and the igniter. But none of this works.

Yes I've got propane. The stove, water heater, and furnace all work.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!

Things to check:

1) Voltage of battery. Low voltage will cause a lot of thing to fail

2) You refrigerator is in a slide out, so check the LP gas line isn't pinched from opening and closing your slide.

3) Any chance you're in a location at high altitude?


You can test the battery with a voltmeter. Another way to do this (also tests propane pressure) to to turn on the heater. See if it will run for >5 mins. That will let you know if you have propane or battery issues.
