hey  all,
does the fridge need to be "wired" in, in order to light and operate  on
propane.  i am asking because my fridge is not hooked up to the  wires to run
off 12v.  i can  not get it to light.  the  thermocouple is hooked up but
does that need 12v in order to create a  spark? the fridge does run great on
ac/dc power from an extension  cord.  BTW propane is full, combustion chamber
is clean and tube from  combustion chamber is not blocked
Fridge does not need 12v power to run on  propane.  Igniter works the same as
the ones on any home barbecue.   Ever see a barbecue out in the yard plugged
to an electrical outlet  ?
