Fridge shuts off constantly

On my Thor Delano 2021 the fridge shuts off after only a minute or two. It worked last month fine, but I did have to reset it once in a while (like every few hours), now it shuts off after reset after only a few mins (red light blinking). Propane is fully loaded and on. Doesn't look like a fuse either since it is working (green light) for a few minutes before it shuts off. Any ideas ?

What's the charge status of your house batteries?

Yes... check your house batteries. You also might try bleeding air from the propane lines... I usually light the stovetop burners for maybe 10 seconds or so, just to make sure the flame is blue and steady. I've never had any fridge (or hot water heater) issues after doing that.

Make & model of fridge? Norcold? 2 different dc power sources. One for the inside panel. Other for outside burner. Sounds like your burner is not trying to ignite. Have someone inside switch it on while you’re outside listening by the panel. You should hear the clicking sound of the electronic ignition. If not, your control box is bad. Mine did this. No ac on shorepower. No dc on batteries. Still had lights on panel. New control box from Amazon fixed it.

A Norcold RV fridge requires that the propane flame envelop the ignition wire during operation. The ionized gas of the flame conducts current, so the fridge's computer knows the flame is present. Should the gas not be present from a miss-adjustment of the probe, an improper air gas mixture or a strong gust of wind; the computer will shutoff the gas valve. After a set time, the computer will initiate an ignition cycle. After three failed ignition cycles tries, the computer will cease trying to light the flame and the computer will show an error light on the fridge's display.
I would suggest you need to have a expert check, the fridge for proper operation. This is not a operation for the usual RV owner for the chance of a fire or explosion is always present when working on propane appliances.
