My brand new Norcold fridge (24.1 Vegas 2017) won't stay lit at altitude on LP. It will run fine for 30 minutes to 4-5 hours - but then it will shut off and I get the error lights flashing. When I try to flip it back on I can hear the tick-tick-tick of the automatic igniter but either nothing happens, or I hear a huge "poof" like too much gas got lit and it blows itself out. Sometimes I can try turning it off and on 2-3 times and it will get itself together and light, sometimes I give up after 10-12 tries. I have now gotten in the habit of trying twice and then just going out with my lighter and having my kid flip it on - lights like a champ and we are good to go for another 30minutes to 4 hours. I took it in for warranty work and "it works as expected, no problems found" - because the warranty shop is below 5500 feet altitude. I have very little technical skill, but I did take the lighting cover off and verified all parts are clean and the chimney is clear - I even used a little toothbrush to make sure. Has anyone else had this problem, or a thought about how to fix it?
