LED exterior door light and waste drain light malfunction? Temperamental LP fridge fu

Just did my shakedown trip and found some weird gremlins.

1. The waste drain LED will not switch off. I press the button and it goes from bright to dim to bright again. If I leave it in the dim setting I will walk back in an hour and it will be bright again. Never off.. annoying..

2. Exterior door light seems loose like it it rattling around in the housing. Sometimes only 4 LEDS on the led board are lit, but if I tap the housing or shut the door they will all light up. Another door close will make it go back to 4. So strange!

3. Fridge works great on shore power. On LP, it will very often go into “blinking LP” mode showing the LP failed to light. It will fire and work occasionally, but not reliably. At one point I gave up on it and decided to get driving, when I checked on it in a few hours it had re-lit itself without me power cycling it. This is a new trailer, I know spiders can get into the orifice and cause problems, but it WILL work, occasionally, unreliably..

Has anyone run into any of these weird issues?? I would love to fix them myself and save a LONG trip to my excellent dealer...

1. Is most likely a bad switch. You can test that while the light is on by just disconnection the lead from the switch. The light will go out when power is removed. Replace the switch.

2. Sounds like an intermittent connection on the LED board. Likely hood of find it is slim Replace the light.

3. If the frig fails to light but then lights on it's own later I would have the igniter checked. Maybe a bad sparking module or the spark gap maybe out of adjustment. If the dealer is close by go see them.
