Has it been standing a while?

No, it was working only a week ago on gas, but the van lost a wheel doing 65 !!! all repaired now just come back from cornwall , would the jolt to the fridge have damaged it !!!

Usually it's the magic fluid inside that settles and needs sloshing up a bit but that sounds like some things may have moved...
can you get the fridge out and take a look?

Hope everyone was OK after that wheel coming off ...seriously scary stuff

Is there a spare parts supplier for these fridges?

Dometic or their agents should be able to provide parts. Try O'Briens.

If the flame is running yellow not blue that indicates the burner isn't running correctly and needs cleaning, maybe the flue also. The servicing procedure involves removing the fridge, laying it one one side and inspecting/cleaning the burner. The whole thing may be well rusted depending the age of the fridge.
