Propane air lock?

[Curt Sprenger]

Don brings up good points. Check those.

If all else fails, turn the propane off at the tank. After a minute, turn the propane back on. Try lighting the stove. Be sure the Frig. continues to function.  

I've added external (outside) propane outlets for BBQs to our propane system. That was an experience before getting everything to work. I do not recall the name of the spring loaded ball/diaphram in the propane line, but it was the problem to making the BBQ outlets work. It would shut down the propane flow and my guess is when energizing the BBQ lines the demand was too great (sensing it was a line blowout) and would shut down the flow of propane. Your system might be doing that.

Curt,



Everything "clicks" correctly and the spark works. There is simply no gas coming out of the burners. Just after I bought the coach and drove to to SoCal from Missouri, I experienced the same thing on the trip out since it had been sitting. It's worked flawlessly on our trips and through daily living. But, I put it in storage for five days and now it doesn't want to let the gas flow to the burners.



Airlock? Some electric valve not working? It worked fine on the fridge.
