Troubleshooting guide
RV refrigerator or gas appliance will not ignite on LP
Use this for no FL, flame-sense, or ignition failures on LP appliances.
Use this atlas to identify likely meaning and prepare for service. Shut off power, LP gas, fuel, or water when a listed appliance condition involves flame, gas smell, exhaust, generator shutdown, high temperature, moving jacks/slides, refrigerant, 120 VAC, control boards, repeated ignition failure, or a persistent lockout. Call the appliance maker, RV dealer, or a qualified RV technician for repair.
Owner-safe checklist
- Shut off LP if you smell gas.
- Do not hand-light appliances with electronic ignition.
- Record whether the problem happens only on LP mode.
