Fridge propane light flashing

My TT is on shore power and I turned my fridge to "Auto" to get it cold for the ride out to the campground tomorrow.

It is flashing a green light. Ii checked my propane tanks and they are off.
Will this light stop flashing?

The fridge is cooling and getting cold.

Actually, the freezer is getting cold but the fridge is not so cold.

Make sure the tt is level, then turn the switch to off for 10 seconds. Turn it back to auto and it should stop flashing.

Sometimes I think it helps to run on propane for a bit till the air bubbles work it's way out.

I hope that does the trick. Other half is at home now putting the stabilizers down and leveling the TT.

Cross your fingers!

Had same prob on out first outing and both previous replies are what worked for us, making sure we were level and then just waiting for air to clear - good advice guys! Happy camp days!

If you put your fridge on auto your propane needs to be on

Mine will work on auto (electric) with the propane off. Maybe some are different.

I always leave my fridge on auto. If it is plugged in it will work off electric and when we unplug the TT is switches automatically to propane. The flashing light may be caused by the TT being uneven.

try bleeding the system through the stove top, I had the same issue until I did this to get the propane through the lines, then reset the switch as previously stated to get rid of the blinking light!!!

The OP originally stated they are running off shore power and have their propane tanks turned off. So the problem is not with supply but with the fridge operation.

Not on mine Hammer. I have Auto/Off/Gas - when on Auto and electricity is available it runs off AC. If the power is disconnected, it switches to Gas. I have run it set to Auto with the propane off and it worked.

The other 2 settings are obvious

If you are on auto and pluggd into shore power, it will default to 110V whether the propane is on or not.

All true mine is the same. But if you have it on auto and shore power is lost for some reason and you have the fridge on auto with the propane off it will give you a green light flash

Now that i think about it, it might be a yellow flash if power is lost with no propane

Got to the SP and set the fridge on LP. Got the green light and the amber light........but not flashing. Freezer worked great......fridge was cool but not cold like it should be.
Disappointed in that this rig is barely a year old and little stuff is starting to not work or break.

Maybe I am too critical in quality of a product.
