Hi gang, We went camping last weekend and the fridge lit perfectly before we left. Next morning it was out. I went to relight it and it would not light. Normally I'd be pulling the thing out --- but I did that a month ago. While I had it out I cleaned the combustion chamber and nozzle, checked gaskets, igniter, wiring, cleaned chimneys etc. In short, I checked/maintained everything I could think of --- and the fridge has worked fine ever since. One thing that strikes me is that it was about 3 degrees celsius/39 degrees fahrenheit last weekend --- and maybe it was too cold for the fridge to light. Has anyone noticed this as a problem that the fridge won't light when it's cold outside? Or does that make sense as a theory...... All wisdom gratefully received as always. I agree that at those temperatures it's sort of a moot point about your fridge lighting, the spare beer in the back cupboard was nice and cold --- but it's going to be much warmer this weekend and we're going camping again. Cheers, Doug |
