I admit I'm a total newbie at this. I put the fridge on propane mode after making sure it was level, and I smelled gas inside the fridge. I'm thinking this isn't normal, so I turned off propane mode. Wait a bit, then turn it back on to propane. The gas smell is stronger.

Anyone know what could possibly cause this?

Well.. sounds like a leaking valve or connection. Except it would leak even when the fridge wasn't on.. Are you sure it lit?

I don't think you would smell propane inside the refirgerator...

Maybe some food residue that went bad?

When I store the pod, I leave the door cracked open to avoid any musty smells.

Sorry, was on the road when this happened.

Yes, I heard the clicks and then I assumed it lit. It wasn't endlessly clicking. Used the stove successfully too. The problem is using the fridge on propane -- I definitely smell gas in there whenever I put the fridge on propane mode.

The fridge was empty except for a few soda cans. I guess it's going back to the dealer.
