Hi guys sisters fridge stopped sparking have tried rewiring , 3 spark packs and checkign for 12v at fridge but still when you flick the red switch to on nothing no clicking or spark any ideas?

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.

cheers mate any idea on spark gap?

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
