well, my fridgerator decided to go on the frittsw. Will not stay running in the gas mode. It lights and runs for up to several hours then it acts like it's running out of gas and won't restart . I have gone through all the cleaning of all the parts and when it first starts up a nice blue flame. I can't find a service manual on line. Do any of you guru's have any ideas??????

Suspect low LP pressure.

Would the regulator on the propane tank cause that??

It's possible. I've had regulators go bad. Check to see if you have a good strong flame on the cook stove. Also, how is the water heater on propane? |

Yes, you can check the pressure with a home made manometer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRubt1b6-cA
Other foreign matter can also disrupt the flow. Be careful, propane can go BOOM!

Wasp nest or spider web around the gas orfice? Those critters cause weird problems until discovered. We also have leaf cutter bees in Idaho that will plug holes.

Thanks for the response I've done all except the water gauge. Went out this am and now it won't work on the 110 ac mode guess it's off to the refridgerator Doctor ouch.. Might go back to the ice coolers never had one of those fail,just add another bag of ice

Hopefully not the fridge's gas valve, which is what went up on my pod's fridge. Better to just buy a new fridge. If we had kept the pod I would have ripped out the fridge and bought one of those compressor-driven coolers to sit in the hole.

Well after playing with that rm8501 Dometic refer, I got down to thinking it was the burner control device
After two calls to Dometic ,each time on hold for over a half hour I got to talk to a lovely young lady and got to have her put me on hold then disconnect camper world could not or would not give me much information on the part like the price, so gave up nd took it to our local rv repair shop (50 miles one way) and they just called me ,telling me it was the burner controll device 290.00 for the part plus labor OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
