Hi
Our fridge has worked fine for last 12mths on gas but recently goes out with the slightest of breeze . It's a dometic. Works fine if no breeze and we were having no probs before but now it's dreadful.
We prob need to get it cleaned and serviced which we will do but is there anything else that can be done to create more protection from wind. It's a jayco.

Had a similar problem with the Dometic fridge in our Jayco Penguin a couple of years back. Very difficult to light and blew out if a mossie farted nearby. Removed the access panel and took out the gas jet to check it was not blocked, which it wasn't, but the problem persisted. Took it to a Dometic frig mechanic who replaced the pressed metal burner. Problem solved, lights instantly, and freezer now makes ice!!!

Hi there, currently on holidays, our fridge played up it would light up after a lot of effort then it did not cool, after some advice from a dealer I cleaned out the jet bingo it fires up easily now and cools great it was luke warm at the top outlet now it is very hot when you see the flame it is bright blue.
cheers hope this helps.
