Volks -

If you are having problems with your Dometic, you might take a look at
Blake Heinlein's web page -

http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~bhein/

He has put together some troubleshooting information and diagrams that
look pretty useful.

I will probably find out this week, because once I get the fuel tank
leak fixed, I need to pull my fridge and find out why it won't run on
propane.

It cools on 110v and 12v, I can see a nice fat spark through the sight
glass, but there has never been any flame.  I pulled the outer vent
cap off and vacuumed it out to clean up any spiders, etc. (After all,
who knows what could have moved in while it was in North Carolina)
After that I blew compressed air into the drain plug on the front to
see if that would clear out blockages.

I hope the problem is something as simple as a plugged orifice.

Any suggestions on the best way to connect a gas bottle to the fridge
when it's out of the van so I can test it?
