Electric Propane Shutoff Valve
Does anyone know if there is a fuse or breaker for the electric propane shutoff valve. I have looked at both fuse panels and can not find one marked as such. I turned the switch off, disconnected the switch and light in order to remove the panel (for access to the waste tank) they are attached to. After reinstalling the panel and switch/light I turned the switch back on and the electric valve will not open, there is no power to the switch. Anyone have any ideas?

A lot of times the propane solenoid circuit is wired through the propane leak detector , if the detector goes to alarm mode it'll shut the power off to the solenoid. Could be fused with the detector or the detector has died.

My LP gass would not turn on, no valve click etc.... I checked power at the switch, power OK. I replaced the rocker switch with a toggle switch all good now.

The detector is still powered (the green light is on) and it alarms if I push the test button. I tried replacing the switch still no valve operation, there is no power at the switch.

Sad to say this ; sounds like testing every fuse with a voltmeter or test light is in order. If you do find that the solenoid and switch are on a circuit that isn't marked to include them, take notes  , because if you're anything like me you will forget by the time you need this info again.

Found it!!! Number 6 on the front fuse panel. Listed as "Service Lights/LP Sol" I guess I missed the abbreviation. Thanks to all for your replies.
