Afternoon, am having issues with propane to Dometic refrig and now to hot water heater.  When I can get refrigerator to light on propane, it runs great for 10-12 hours and goes out.  Hard time getting it to reignite after that.  Hot water heater has now started doing same thing. HWH has backfired twice, and then it lit and ran for 12 hours and went out.  Can’t seem to get it to relight either. Propane shutoff switch  recently quit turning off gas valve at tank.  Could the solenoid be bad, or the gas valve at the tank? I have changed out the two regulators within the last two weeks that did seem to help for awhile.  Any suggestions

Thanks

My Dometic fridge runs well on 12V and 120V, but it won't ignite on gas either from the auto feature or when manually operated. The other gas appliances, including the generator, water heater, and stove top operate normally. I couldn't detect the igniter "clicking" when the fridge was on start. Any suggestions on where I should look? John

I also recently had a propane issue.  I just tried to get my propane tank refilled as it registered 1% left.  I accidentally left the fridge on the propane setting that ran my tank empty.  I couldn't refill the tank as the check valve was stuck closed.  Does anyone have an idea what caused this problem and how to fix it?

 My propane problem with the Dometic fridge was easier solved than I thought it would be. Found a youtube video that demonstrated how to reset the fridge by holding the on/off for about 30 seconds until I heard a beep. The fridge had been off line for some time, and needed to be reset. Problem solved.

Also,if you’re getting a weird error with the gas try just pushing and holding the main button in for 3 seconds. It does a reset.
