Refrigerator gas kicking off

When I unplug the electric from the Norcold refrigerator, gas kicks on and after a few minutes it you can hear it kick off. After last stop I noticed refrigerator interior temperature was getting high.
We have plenty of gas, any suggestions?

Are u selecting LP or letting the fridge select? Manually put it to LP see what it does. Hope this helps

One of the things we have noticed is that there might be air in the gas line. The solution that has worked for us is to turn on the gas stove and let it run for a few minutes to clear any air out of the line. Once we think the air is cleared out of the line turn off the gas stove and the refrigerator seems to work just fine on the gas. We always leave the select switch on the refrigerator in auto so it will select the source of power: electric first, gas second. Just a thought.

I'm also having problems with my refrigerator on gas mode. Gas flow seems to be fine, burner ignites no problem. Burner runs for about 45 seconds, then shuts off. The spark igniter continues to spark after the burner ignites, even when I disconnect the wire to the igniter at the control box. I'm thinking bad control box? Sorry to hijack the thread, but I can't find the start new thread button.

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.

Air in lines

I too had a problem in my 29MV when I first bought it. I would put it on LP, it would start and "run" for about 30 sec and shut off showing a failure on the lights.. Waited a minute, same results. On the third try works fine. Quickly learned it was all about air in the LP line.

Seems to be working now. Not sure what is going on but will need to keep an eye on it.

What jkaras7 said. Air in the line just lite the stove to get the propane flowing and retry.

I thought about air but we've been using the refrigerator, stove and water heater for over a month now. It's not like gas was off or we just refilled.
