I have a problem with my large 2 door Dometic 3 way fridge. It works fine on 240v and 12 volt but won't change over to gas. This makes it difficult to
free camp. Its a new fridge and is under warranty but as I am touring the top end and inland Qld I can't get to a Dometic service agent until I get to Mt Isa.
I have plenty of gas in the bottles and the stove and hot water service work no problems.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
cheers
Steve

hi steve
gas fridges and hot water systems have an attraction for wasps and other insects building nest in the flue and gas outlet near
the pilot light. blow out with air and
check nothing is blocking these.if you can get
the pilot lit and when you release
the knob the pilot goes out you may need to heat the thermo couple near pilot light to get it to open the to let the gas thru. it may be stuffed also gas fridges have to be level to operate if you don't have a level use a glass of water and place on top to see if level hope this helps

Hi
As Dags has pointed out spiders etc can be a problem
But a little more symptoms are required to try & find the problem
The AES system requires 12v to operate on gas is the battery charged ??requires min of 11.6v @ fridge
Is the ignitor functioning
a light will illuminate on the lower left front corner of the
refrigerator. if it is energising.
Can you hear a slight of gas @ the rear of fridge
