And I thought I had seen them all.....I worked on a customer's 1991 Syncro
Westy today, and one of the tasks was to check out the fridge operation. I
had, up to this point, never seen the newer fridge with push-button
controls. It also has an electronic igniter controlled by the gas
push-button. Therein lies the problem. The button works, and the little red
light above glows, but never flashes indicating that the igniter is
sparking. My question is: does this indicate the electronic igniter unit is
defective? Or have I overlooked something else? There is current going into
and out of the three-way button switch. Oh, and of course the fridge doesn't
light! Also, should the green LED on the panel glow when the fridge is
turned to electric (12V or 115V) as in the earlier models? That LED doesn't
function at all presently. Thanks in advance for any advice!
