Refrigerator

[Nan]

I noticed the fridge cooled while hooked to power but in the road it stopped cooling. Both propane tanks were opened And fridge was on auto. I was told that when yellow gas light is blinking to check the tanks. I did and they were open. Then I was told I needed to turn the switch on fridge to off then back on to regenerate. I am hopping that will fix problem. I hadn’t noticed the problem on our first 2 trips, I think, because they were short trips. Welcom your input. Thx N

Gas switch must be ON to operate on gas. Just auto will not do it.

Mine switches automatically to operating on gas when I unplug from shore power or generator when it's set on auto.

Is this a Norcold N611 fridge?

Might have to purge the line. Light the stove.

Were you above 5500 feet in elevation?

That statement is incorrect. Auto will switch to gas when no 120v power is available, hence the word “AUTO”.

The auto switch position will attempt to switch to gas at the loss of AC power. If it doesn't ignite after several attempts it will go into lockout mode where a reset is necessary.
