Sounds like what I was thinking, Greg. Curious if anyone else has the
same problem under prolonged 0 degree temps? Want to make sure it
isn't just me.

I tried gas operation with no luck. Now the thing says "check" when I
turn it on in any mode. I'm assuming that's because it thinks it's too
warm inside... hope it's not indicative of more serious trouble. I may
try the trouble light in the back as Ernie suggested, see if that
doesn't warm it up enough to restart. These darn gas ammonia refers
sure are finicky. I'm going to consider buying an all-electric coach
with a big house-type fridge next time around.

While I'm here I might as well ask, how does the refrigerator alarm
circuit work in our coaches? Mine seems useless. I'd like some warning
the next time the fridge approaches temps that are going to spoil my
food.... My fridge has been replaced before, though, so the circuit
may have just been disconnected entirely... I'd like to figure out how
to reconnect it once I get this fridge running again.
