fridge not working!

[ajess266]

Hi ok a problem, have tried getting the gas fridge to work I use the plunger to express some gas hold the button in after pumping plunger it ignites I hold the button in for 30secs pilot lights on, I release the button and then after about 30secs in just goes out, any ideas why or what's going on or what I'm doing wrong, please? The fridge is an electrolux kreft can't quite make out the model no. The bit I can read says RM18?A. Thanks Allison

Thermocouple most probably needs replacing. £3 or so from Ebay. Like these.

Hi Alison. I'm not familiar with this type of fridge myself but I have a PDF file for a RM185B which mentions pumping a button in the instructions so perhaps you have the RM185A. Hopefully they are more or less identical. I also have an Electrolux Diagnostics Manual which might help. PM me your email address and I'll send them to you if you like - can't hurt even if they don't actually help.

I also have a PDF for a RM185R which I could send you if you want but that's in German
