I have to wonder, is there such thing as a bad batch of propane?
The Suburban (NT30 M) started misbehaving yesterday, requiring 3 or 4 tries to light,
and then finally today refused to light at all. The fridge and stove-top both work without issue,
and of course i checked battery voltage (12.6v), and tightened up the ground, since the spark seemed inconsistent at first. well now i get a bright consistent spark, and no propane fumes, which has me thinking its either the gas valve or control board(?)
So then i took a break and went over to the Eleganza to have some dinner... and the furnace (DuoTherm) won't light over there, either! Other than pure coincidence, the only commonality is that they're both hooked up to 5 gallon LP bottles (BarBQ style), since the Eleganza isn't currently driving; and i had just converted the Birchhaven over to a compartment with swappable 5 gallon bottles... which worked great for the first few days.. then developed this problem.
Curious what the forum has to say about this, and what my first testing steps should be. I can get another bottle of propane filled tomorrow, from another store, for what its worth...
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
cheers,
