Check the spark electrode is clean and it's alignment with the gas burner head. Too dirty or far away and the spark won't be able to jump the gap. That's assuming everything else is ok.

From the 'Dometic Fridge Diagnostics Manual'....

The distance between the tip of the electrode
and the burner, known as the spark gap,
should be 3/16 of an inch. A greater distance
will create a slow spark causing the light to
blink. A lesser distance will create a fast spark
that may not light the burner.



So now I suppose you'd rather like a copy yourself :lol:

PM me your email address and I'll send it to you :wink:
