propane problems

[Curt Sprenger]

Marc,

My blue book provided the following. Yours may be the same.

LP Gas Leakage Detector
In the event of an LP leak, the unit sounds an alarm (if that part is
working) and closes down the main LPG supply by activating the leak
detector solenoid shutoff valve located in the gas line just after the
low pressure regulator. If it is necessary to reset the solenoid (red
band is visible inside clear plastic valve housing), open the outside
refrigerator vent compartment door, remove plastic housing by gripping
locking levers and lifting upwards, push valve plunder down until it
remains down, then replace the cover. To test alarm operation, press the
test switch located on top of the detector unit. Alarm must sound for a
least 15 seconds before the shutoff valve will be activated.

Good luck.
