fridge won't fire on gas.

Post by Sam the man »

We have owned a 89 Komet( Autohomes) for 6mths,love it,but the 3way fridge refuses to work on gas.
Pilot will light but goes out once button is released,have replaced thermo-coupling....no change!
Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Is the flame touching the thermocouple? If it isnt gas line/injector could need a clean.
Has it ever worked? Are you holding the gas button in for 20-30 secs after the pilot lights?

Make sure the knob is not hitting the fascia panel befor the spindle is fully depressed. To check just try lighting it without the knob fitted.

Don't forget to make sure you're parked on level ground
What a long strange trip it's been
