Fridge Failure

[nesty]

I'm out camping and this morning my Fridge (Electrolux RM122F) stopped working! I noticed the food started to thaw out.

The light at the back gone out. I went through the re-light process and there was big woosh (like a build up), bit it didn't light. Since then tried several times & can't get the pilot to light.

I got this carpet protector and not sure if that moved against the knob, (ie pressing it in all night), if this would have any impact on on the problem?

I got a chillbox with me, so can chill food. Though would natural prefer the fridge to run gas then 12V. Any methods I have to do. Could of something safety kicked in?

I've done a few camper fridges, and they all had a build up of crud (rust flakes, spiders etc) in the gas jet at the base of the chimney.

These fridges appear to need servicing every few years. It' usually a bitch getting them out, but once out it's quite straightforward.Some are srviced through a little hatch outside. Even a gyneacologist would struggle with those. Gas should be serviced by a registered gas engineer.

If your gas bottles not empty it's almost certainly crud or carbon build up. Fridge out time unless as previously posted you can get at it by removing a low level ventilation cover. Either way it's going to be awkward......

On LPG Leisure tank!

I got it going ok now. I held the gas knob in for about 1 min to expell air then tried again on the 10th press of the igniter it lit!
