Another fridge problem

Post by **tipo73** » 16 Apr 2008, 16:10

Hi,
Does any one know why my fridge works on gas less then 2 horus and then stops without any reason (I don't turn gas botton or something else) and when I try again it starts and work 2 hours .... Fridge didn't work all winter.
Oh It's an old fridge original built in T25 westfalia.
Thanks for anwsers.

This might sound daft but try removing it and leaving it upside down for a day.
Something to do with the gas. (Not the heating gas, the cooling gas)

erm, its not gas, its an amonia liquid....... but yes, turn it upside down for a day or two.........

or did you mean the flame is going out?

that will be a faulty thermo couple, or volume control......

The flame is going out, because when I start piezo lighter, needle imediatli turn into green area, but yesteray works longer then usualy.
Is it possible that water comes into exhaust and that's the reason? We have almost 3 weeks of rainy weather.

i doubt its rain water down the flu, its almost impossible for the water to get in there to the flame, it would run down the inside of the flu IF it did get in there, not the middle........

sounding like either the temp regulator on the fridge, or a gerualtor on the gas cylinder to me , if it is NOT the thermo cut out on the fridge

are other gas appliences working ok?

Other appliences, ther's only gas kitchen (and fridge) and yes they work OK. Ouu, when the fridge works I stop it with the main valve. How does it stop?
