The OE Dometic 182B fridge was pulled from the van, cleaned &
serviced this week. Ran super COLD at the shop on propane. I
brought her home and tried to fire up the fridge on propane this
afternoon. (Yes, the valve was on, the burners on the stove
lighted). No dice. I have to admit, I got a bit pissed off.
Plugged the damn thing in on 110V and went in to have dinner. Bear
in mind I have read all available online posts on how to start these
things, ad nauseum.
Post-prandials, I went out to the van to try again. 110V had lowered
the temp nicely, so I knew it was working. First try, it started on
propane. Go figure.
Question:
1.Is it because it was dark and I could see the LED? or
2. Because I pre-cooled the fridge on 110V.
I will be on my maiden voyage tomorrow (and my trusty mechanic will
be in tow, how lucky am I?). But I'd really like this fridge to
work. After all, I dumped an '81 for this....
