fridge ignitor light

Post by Doctor Foster »

Red switch that flashes to try and ignite the gas has stopped flashing although I can hear the igntitor clicking still. Is this just a bulb in the switch or something else before I start dismantling things!!

I'd check the soundness of the connections at the back of the switch firstly. I don't know what's inside the switch or even if you can carefully dismantle it - which is why I'd start with the connections.

It's looking like a connection fault. I hope it is!!

Gonna take the fascia off and have a look.

You may have to remove the fridge slightly - I think it's fixed to the fridge 'body' - unless you can access it from above by pulling out a drawer or something.
