Anybody know repairers? I'm based shepperton
 
MCEA network. Most common gas faults are blocked jet (cobweb will do it) and a poor 12V supply to the ingitor.

:unsure:

Perhaps I've misinterpreted the OP's message but I read it as it works O.K. on gas but not on 240v or 12v.
 
Do u want to get the tools out or just find a repairman.
If u can get the gas to work then the 12v igniter must work so 12v getting to fridge. Fridge most probably only works on 12v when engine running.
Take the big bottom vent off and when on hookup check 220v getting to the socket the fridge is plugged into. If u have then likely the heating element needs replacing.
 
I have never had a fridge actually fail due to a part but I have had several stop working it’s always been down to contacts. Make sure the mains is disconnected gas off and 12v off disconnect every lead and connector you can find clean everything and carefully put back together don’t bend any pins may well be worth buying some contact cleaner not WD40.
If it’s one of the last Dometic range from about 4 years ago they have a mind of their own.
Good luck

Doubt it would be the heater element if both the 12v and 240v are not working, as they use separate elements. That is assuming that the OP has checked the 12v with the engine running! If its a Dometic model and both 12v and 240v is is getting to the junction boxes at back of the fridge a likely culprit may be the black "power brick" at the back of the fridge. Easy way to check is to disconnect the element leads from the power brick and use a multimeter to check if power is coming out of the brick.
