Propane won’t stay lit.

I have a 2017 320s. When I follow the instructions for running the refrigerator on propane the flame indicator light stays lit for about 5 seconds then goes out. I tried precooling on dc but that didn’t work. Is this OE?

    Which fridge?  Has it ever run for you before? 
    Running a propane fridge on battery (DC) is running the battery down at a rapid pace, so check your battery state of charge.  Try precooling on shore power instead.
    There can be many reasons for a propane fridge to be not lighting:  from low propane, bad pigtails and regulators, and the fridge itself.  There are lots of threads that can help.  Tell us what fridge it is.

    . . . propane the flame indicator light stays lit for about 5 seconds then goes out.

    As noted the Fridge Model Number would be helpful 2017/2018 had a mix of the 3160 and N180 which have different lighting sequence/controls

    HOWEVER, both do require keeping the Propane Gas Flow (flame size) Button pressed for a few minutes after the pilot lights so the 'good flame' senor comes up to operating temperature (voltage).
