Fridge Help

[wiljoy]

We are on route to Portsmouth and the fridge had died. Its full for our Spanish trip so help required. Its getting all powers including gas and the gas is lighting but its not working. All fuses ok. Any engineers on route from Warwick or in Portsmouth itself?

All lights on and appears to be working. Gas burner us also igniting and chimney hot

Is it working on 12 volts ?
My 3 way fridge stopped working on gas in France this year. It would light, flue hot, but got no cooling effect.
When I got home I took it out and gave it a through clean of the gas jet and flue and that cured the problem.
Very inconvenient at the time though.
When was your fridge last serviced ?

You could try www.caravansolutions.co.uk 01794 367325 who are in Romsey, not far off route (I do not know them) or you could try www.reliancecms.uk who are not on your route , they are near Chichester but very good (and normally very busy) 01243 940050
Another one to try is a mobile service www.southcoastleisureservices.co.uk 0789 644926 / 01243 572607 ( I do not know them )

You say gas is lighting but not working? I assume you mean not cooling.
Usual cause is when travelling crap falls down the flue onto the burner, if the flame has a yellow appearance that's why.
Get a straw or similar (bike pump) and blow across the burner.
Good luck

Look for an MCEA link on line, there may be someone who can come out to you.

Make sure the flue is clear of soot.

Many thanks to everyone for your help. I managed a self fix that worked as no repairers appeared to be able to help. The old tap on the pipes has possibly moved debris.
