Has it been serviced, could be a partially blocked flue ?

part blocked gas jet

Start at the gas jet ,then work back along the piping until you reach the valve ,then tap the valve a couple of times with a spanner and see if your jet flame increases if the answer is yes ,should be problem solved.If laid up for a while the valve can stick.

Sounds like flue, but good advice already given above.

Prior to using the gas, did you have it running on 240V?

Meadow view Had problems with our Dometic fridge last year. Despite ringing round several places without success ended up back at the dealers for them to fix - took 2 trips before it was properly fixed. Given the number of people who are reporting problems with Dometic fridges I have to wonder whether they're fit for purpose. You could try this company - not used them.

Did you fit it yourself? If you called someone in could you tell me who it was. Thanks.

 

[Meadow view]

No, didn’t know what the problem was but on watching the engineer fit it, it wouldn’t be a problem to do yourself, Calibre Caravan Services Hednsford did mine

Try a can of compressed air in through the exterior vent, works a treat!
