electrolux 3-Way fridge piezo failure

Post by gilbert »

Just discovered that my pilot light igniter has packed up. Grrr. I'm off tomorrow for a weekend in the Peaks. Is there a quick fix to get the pilot light lit/to stay on (the gas works okay). How much is a new igniter?
Cheers

and if you have to remove the fridge anyway clean the burner, and the flue.
then check the spark afore you buy a new/second hand unit.

Check that there is not a carbon build up between the gap that the spark is supposed to jump accross!!!!
I had stripped down all the three way valve thingy at the front and not got it sorted before taking it out and finding a chunk of crusty carbon on mine :oops:

Sorry I didn't have time to reply before leaving for the weekend - which was when I discovered that the leisure battery was the problem!

Err - how does a duff leisure battery stop the fridge from lighting :twisted:

your leisure battery is in no way connected to the gas supply.or to the igniter.
