Refrig not operating on propane

[theracqueteer]

We had a power outage today and the refrig did not light off on propane. I have full propane tanks, they are turned on. Stove works, water heater works. When I switch the refrig to propane I do not get any spark. I checked the combustion chamber and all looks clean. All fuses seem to be good. Can anyone give me some more insight as to how to troubleshoot?

That could be a few things. It could be as simple as the propane needs bleeding. If you haven't used it for a while it could take a few cyces to get the air out of the line. I had a fridge that didn't spark a couple years ago and I was able to light it with a lighter. I ended up having to replace a panel about 4x6 inches. I can't remember what it was called.

Does anything else work on propane?

Yes, all other propane appliances work. I have tried to light it off at least a half dozen times. Normally I hear the igniter clicking and then you hear the burner light off. Even when it needs air bled out you will hear the igniter clicking, but not now.

Just thinking out loud here, is there a fuse for the ignition?

That's the part I replaced on my fridge when it stopped igniting. It was an easy job. When I pulled the old one out I could see a burnt line in the gel covering the electronics. I said before that I could start it with a lighter. I didn't remember that right. For some reason I had a push button igniter in my garage that I used. Once I did that I knew it would work but of course wasn't igniting on it's own. We were leaving for a trip the day the part came in. I switched it out in about 15 minutes.

Try unplugging the igniter from the board and plug it back in. Do that with all board connections but be careful, the wires are flimsy. If memory serves me there is a small fuse located on the board itself as well.
