Hello
I have a 2004 Keystone Larado 5er. Recently I prepared my 5er for a week trip and plugging in the frig which worked just fine. As we prepared to leave home for our trip I switched the frig to gas. I didn't check the light as it has always worked. Well, when we arrived to our camp site I noticed
the frig was no longer cold. Both the Auto and Gas LED would faintly plink together at the same time. I checked the fuses and everything I could think of to no prevail. Yes, the 5er was level.

Maybe someone could help me out, here's the Frig info
NorCold 300 watt
Model# N611
Serial# 1201212L
1500 watt input

Thank you

is your 12v charged good?
are you getting enough voltage to the fridge?
with the lights blinking like that, i'd start looking for proper voltage to the unit.
I think lack of voltage may be an issue.

The batteries were completely charged. The frig was plug into 110 for over a week
during our trip. Everything else in the 5er seems to work just fine. The frig worked great the night before our trip. Wouldn't work on gas our on auto mode during the trip though. I even the checked the fuses on the outside access panel.

Silly question I know but did you check to see if you had propane? Did you turn the valve on really slowly? Sometimes if you turn the valve on too quickly the thing won't work. Last time I had this problem I was out of gas!

I have a reset switch on my igniter that's mounted to the flue. You have to take the sheet metal cover off and it's right between the two probes of the igniter.
It resets the DC. If you don't have DC you won't get anything. (at least on mine.......)

If this was one of the recall units and you had the work performed you might find a thermo fuse open. This fuse is at the stack where they installed the sheet metal guards..Good Luck

Both propane bottles were filled. I did check the burner, iginter, and everything
looked nice and clean. The stove and oven worked just fine and so did the HW heater
both on gas and electric modes
Didn't see a reset switch but I'll check that next time I'm
out at our storage place. Even if the gas side was messed up it should have worked
on 110 at the camp site. The battery level was fully charged. The frig was super cold the night before our trip.
