Or the thermocoupler needs to be adjusted to be directly in the flame.

A question for my education, is the pilot initially lit with a match or a piezo electric spark?

(In our motorhome, the oven is not in my territory. However the tank dump system is.)

In my case (2014 Hurricane and prev 2000 Infinity) - the only pilot was for the oven - and it gets lit with match/lighter with oven dial in pilot position and depressed until the thermocoupler heats up...

I'm surprised a 2017 model fridge would have a pilot.
It WOULD post a 'fail to light' code if there is air in lines... When turning on propane - I typically light at least one burner on stove to purge lines - then the fridge works fine...

Note that the coach battery must be in USE position for fridge to operate on propane - 12v power is needed to run the electronics.
