Blocked Gas Regulator

I had to do the same with mine after my regulator stuffed up

Thanks all. I did not mention that the frig burner is actually burning, but the flue vent is not as hot as is usual. I will try blowing out the lines as suggested.

Martycon,
Seeing that the burner is lighting up, try checking the flue pipe for wasps nests. The little blighters have started on their mission for the season.

Also inspect the area around the burner at the bottom of the flue as I had one build a nest right beside the burner and it was enough to slightly deflect the flame just a little and the fridge would not work. Took three goes to find it.

Cheers, Bruce.

hi guys
back in 2004-5 there were problems caused by poor quality hoses brought in from china the internal lining of the hoses was breaking down internally into a powdery form by the gas which was found to be blocking regulators and burner jets
I was having trouble getting a new hose for my camper at the time there was a lull in supply and hoses were on back-order and I was told the faulty hoses had been halted from sale after the problem was discovered
but they had already supplied and sold a huge amount of them and no recall was done
2 different suppliers told me the same imfo
so if you are having blockages and its not spiders or wasps I would suggest you replace your flexible hoses between gas bottle and regulator and regulator and pipe that delivers the gas to your appliances blowing the lines out will only be a temporary fix until more rubber breaks up and comes through cheers

forgot to mention you may also have to replace your regulator as well to resolve the problem completly

I would suggest that we are going through the same "dirty gas" situation again.
Recently changed the regulator in Brother in Laws van twice in the past year (used say 3-4 bottles during this period).
Both times there was an oily substance running out the bottom of the regulator when the hose was disconnected.

His bottles came from a major hardware chain as exchange.

First, thanks again to all advisers. Advice taken, jet cleaned and lines blown out. Worked well on Gas, ac & dc for two weeks, but now failed to even get cool in any mode, let alone freeze.
I will try to get refrigerant pressure tested, and if OK may get a new thermostat installed. However, it is looking like a new frig to replace the 10 yr old Dometic RM2350 90 litre.
I would like to go compressor, but extra solar and batteries would put van and vehicle overweight.
