I have been having sporadic luck getting my refir to work on LP. This
evening, I have determined that it appears that it will only work on LP
when the "LP Heat" switch on the dash is in the on position. Anyone
have any opinion why this would be? One should have nothing to do with
the other.

Wonder if running a flame on the cooktop with the lp heat off would
prove ;refer working on lp. that may show some issue with the
regulator not opening up for a minor referboiler flame????? or air in
line. if lp tank is pushing air that fails to ignite the flame on the
referboiler and the heaters running purges the line continously?????
might be more evident on the cooktop performance

my 94pt has a lpg master switch. maybe there is one on the 86pt that
is automatic with the dash 'lpHeat' switch???


new fan mod could be blowing out the flame???

Scott,

Over the years, I've chalked alot of LP gas prolems up to faulty
pressure regulators. If you are still using the original ones, it
might be time for some replacements. They don't cost too much and do
eventually clog and/or wear out.

I just went out to the 'Bird. The LP dash switch is in the off position. The frig. LP works in this off mode. Interesting.

On myPT40-the 25 year old version. If the green lite is not on under the booth for the gas, there is no gas anywhere to be found, except in the LP tank

On our 88 FC, which has many of the same schematics as the PT's.
The LP Heat dash switch controls 12 volts to the Suburban Furnaces.
So if the thermostats are set to ON and calling for heat the
Suburbans will ignite.
The Propane detector/ auto propane shut off solenoid, is wired
through the Electronic Master. So the Electronics Master switch must
be turned "ON", to make the Propane flow.

More than interesting; potentially dangerous? I thought that both the
master LP switch and the gas alarm always had to be on for the LP to
work on anything LP. Could PO have modified the frig?
