My fridge decided to defrost its self on gas , having just come off mains and then been on a journey
Had the vents off and checked it out, flame, hot chimney but heat exchanger cool, argh!!!!
suspected it had leaked gas , but the engineer didn't like the look of the flame, ' too small' he said
Turns out the newly fitted jet had crud in it, fine dust came out of the pipe from the controller to the jet/burner
Cleaned and new jet now the flame has a quiet roar when you put your ear near it
Result fridge back to normal [and a £50 bill]
So much for the £80 service at the Lincoln show in November
Had to do it all over again , but I have a working appliance, happy days
hope this might help anyone else with a warm fridge and a 'small flame'
