 |
|
| Yesterday I had the propane filled with 4.2 gallons on my 2000 EVC but the inside indicator and the one directly on the tank outside both still read empty. Despite that, I am still able to run the stove no problem and the bleeder valve emits gas when opened. I am unable to start the refrigerator on propane. Anyone experience this before and have a solution? |

Mine have always read accurately, I'm guessing you'll just have to dig into the wiring. The fridge, if it's the original Norcold unit they're notoriously balky on LP.

| Thanks. I called a repairman who suggested the problems are not related. The fridge isn't sparking at all which might be more related to a sensor or the ignitor while the indicators are usually ground wiring related. |
