norcold refrigerator and lp gas problem

[Slbaldwin]

Made the mistake after lp gas refill of running fridge while main valve was closed. Been trying to get it started for a while and followed manufacturers directions. No luck. Any ideas? Worked fine before I screwed up

Possibly got air in the line during the fill up. If you have an LP stove top near the fridge, run a burner until the flame is steady and pure blue, then try a few restarts on the fridge and check its flame.

i have read that after a few no starts, the fridge will lock out and that a reset procedure must be performed.
check these resources.

Sparking is fine. No flame as no gas is getting to the burner. Will try a few more times then off to repair shop.

Can't find a reset procedure for my model. Going to try to restart a few more times then off to repair shop. Don't have the tools or knowledge to do much more.

What model do you have? Plenty of experience with Norcold fridges at iRV2.

If you are at a campground, ask around. Even a simple reset at a repair shop might cost an hour labor.

Try turning the valve on your tank to off and open slowly...the valve has a shut off inside in case of hose rupture will pop closed ...even some times if you open the shut off valve to quickly this will happen........just a thought!!
hope you find the reason....

this made me think of something. does your propane stove work??

Have you tried your furnace and will it fire up?
If the fridge is last in line its going to take a few more firings with air on end of line.

Model is N842IM. I've decided to keep trying for a while. Still think the problem is gas not getting there.
Thanks for input

Yes, stove works. It's all refrigerator issue at this point.

if it is just the fridge I would suggest cleaning the flame sensor with a very fine sand paper. even if it does not look dirty. if that does not work clean the connections on the circiut board with a pencil eraser. and where the flame sensor plugs into the circuit board. keep us informed.
