gas fridge

Hi Thomas,
Try getting an old tooth brush with a little metho on it and scrubbing were the flame sits.
Do this of cause with the gas off. Give it a couple of minutes and try lighting it again. Sometimes they get a build up crap over this area.
I carry these things just in case, either for our 3 way Chescold or the campers 3 way. Also, check to see if the spark ignition isn't to far away from where the flame sits.

Give that a go.

Hi Thomas

We've cleaned the igniter with small brush and some solvent like Eucalyptus Oil - seems to get rid of build up....but again - don't to it with the gas on or near any flame. These types of fridges also work better if you turn them upside down for a few days before you use them...little hint from a repair guy that we nearly used.

Cheers

Chris

Hi Thomas.

My 3 way in the van stopped working and I found that wasps had built a mud nest in the flue. Pulled it out and got to it with a length of wire ans a small bottle brush. Put it back in and fired it up, worked like a treat.

Another problem they get is a sludge build up in the internal pipe work. In that case tip it end over end about 4 or 5 times and let it settle for a day or 2 and then fire it up. Thats what we used to do with the Kero fridges when they stopped working properly.

Cheers, Bruce.
