Problematic Dometic RM2454

[tnp.psp]

Thank you so much for the helpful suggestions. We will start by cleaning the burner and orifice as soon as we are able to.
The refrigerator model number is DM2663.

This is a good explanation for the control panel on the refrigerator,

Yes, that's a great video. Watching it confirmed my suspicions that once the check light comes on, the power board is in hard lockout and the frig only tries lighting once. Resetting requires manually turning frig off and then back on. The Dinosaur power board will continue to retry by automatically resetting the hard lock out. Well, at least that's my understanding but haven't been able to confirm that yet.

Yes confirms our understanding. Hopefully your new board fixes the problem. If he does a video on using the panel to obtaining trouble codes from the board it would be a big help.

Good luck, Bob

I hope he does the trouble shooting codes as well. I've gotten so much out of his videos, I got one of his tools for connecting a manometer and an appliance with a 3/8 flare fitting. Worked great and that's how I found that my gas pressure was too high. In fact that may be what the problem is. Well see,

Problem appears to be fixed.

Refrigerator has been run for a week on gas without a problem and froze 3/4 of a gallon of water solid. It appears the problem was the high gas pressure which was at 14 WC when I first checked it and I brought it down to about 12. I could hear the difference in sound as soon as the propane fired up, much quieter. I did replace the Dometic power board with a Dinosaur board so it's possible it was the stock power board but at any rate, I'm pleased it's fixed.
