Water and fridge not working on propane

[stripedass]

Everything has been working fine .. just got to a campsite. And fridge and water heater are not working on propane..

My stove works fine.. so does my quick connect...

It seems like it may not be getting a spark . Haven't been able to verify yet .

Check 12vdc battery power, both require good voltage to work properly

I disconnected from the 30 amp. Disconnected the battery and reconnected it.. now my fridge works on propane but still no water heater on propane.. at least it's working on electric so we have hot water.. Don't understand how it just stopped working when it was working fine at home...

Is your water heater trying to ignite when you switch it to gas? Are you getting a gas fault light on the control panel? Check the gas tube inside the hot water heater to make sure it isn't plugged with a spider nest or some other insect.

I need to get my wife to flip the switch on for the water heater. While I'm looking at it to see if is making a spark since the switch is quite a bit far from the heater.

No fault on the control panel..

I don't smell gas either..

Sounds like the circuit board for your water heater is shot. Mine did the exact same thing, water heater would start, then stop. Throw switch off then on again, same thing, start and stop after 30 seconds. I replaced my circuit board with the American made Dinosaur electronics board and problem solved. Never to look back again... No more Chinese garbage that'll keep burning out every other year. https://www.dinosaurelectronics.com/

Tried it again this morning and it fired right up.. I took a shower.. but haven't heard a kick back on..

I hate to have to buy a new board when it's covered under warranty.. but then again driving to my dealer to get warranty work will cost me over $60 in tolls plus gas..

I have had the same issue before as well as others on this forum. Try removing the W/H connectors on the circuit board and reconnecting them again. Use care. Sometimes it is just a bad connection with the harness.

Had the exact same experence. It's been fine ever since.

It all appears to be working now... Weird.

If you turned the gas off while traveling or changed a bottle it could take some time to work out the air.

Maybe that's what it was . I had to turn the propane off before going to a gas station. but stove worked and so did my quick connect

Try going into the orfice tube with a pipe cleaner or screwdriver to make sure there are no spiders trying to nest in there. A favorite spot.

Interesting, mine only works if the propane is turned on. It is on auto and the gas is turned off on the fridge, but the propane still has to be turned on.
