fridge on propane - Event Date: 23 Jun 2022 - 23 Jul 2022

Well I think I have done all the recommendations for getting my fridge to work on propane to no avail (at least I think).  When its mention of the recommendation of disconnecting the regulator and blowing out some lines where one may find some goo, are we talking of the one right by the propane tank?  We are not talking about the propane gas valve by the back of the fridge, correct?    Not sure what else to do here.  Any further advice is much appreciated. Thanks,  jpp

+1 Jato but also use the compressed air to blow out the gas supply line going to (just upstream of) the burner orifice and the burner itself.  The majority of the time low gas flow is due to the orifice being restricted, there's a very small opening in the orifice and don't try and clean it out by pushing something through it.  Hope this helps

I have found that the gas supply line (in your words) the small gas supply line from the fridge gas valve to the burner most frequently is the culprit and I believe it's the orifice that is plugging up.  Again hope this helps

If all the other gas appliances are working correctly on gas mode, the regulator which is located near the 20lb tank should be working ok.  You can still disconnect the gas down stream line from the regulator by the 20lb tank and blow the line out from the fridge area to insure there is no gooie stuff in the line.  As far as the size of the flame on the fridge it should be audible, in other words when the fridge starts up on the gas mode you should be able to hear it light up and run from inside the trailer.  You can have a minor restriction in the gas orifice and still have a pretty good flame but not be sufficient enough to develop enough heat in the "cooling tower" (actually it is heating up the refringent) to cool the inside of the fridge.  It does not take much of a restriction in the orifice to compromise the cooling of the fridge running on gas.  If you are still not getting the fridge cold running on gas disconnect the gas line at the gas shut off valve in the back of the fridge that is connected to the orifice mounted on the burner head.  Put high pressure air (100+psi) into the gas valve end of the line.  I am not trying to belabor the point just trying to get on the same wave length.

update.  disconnected gaslines......zero goo.  no kinks in any gasline.  burner/flue/orfice spotless.  competely fathomed here.  jpp
