Dometic RM7655L. Def not knackered as cools down fine on EHU. Switch to gas even thou a nice roaring flame not cooling. As switched from EHU to gas to check and it warmed back up😭.
Just ordered a cleaning brush (Dokpav 155cm Aquarium Cleaning Brush Flexible Double Ended Fish Tank Tubes Filters Pipe Brush Cleaners Pump Hose Brush) from Amazon and a can of Air Duster(non flammable compressed air). Once recd gonna clean flue and jet. And see if that fixes it.
Jet and GasBurner assembly only 2 years old. Spoke to a MECA engineer today (not my usual one) and he said fridge is fine just needs a clean on flue,
Reckon my current engineer didnt clean it as he condemned it 🤬
If clean it and it and still refuses to work on gas will have to get another engineer to look as I am stumped but noone local available till mid to end Sept

Anyone got any suggestions to help? Or am I on right track?

even if the flame looks good i always get the jet out and clean it also while the jets out blow some gs through as this removes any dust sitting in nthe pipe behind the jet
Been reading up and most say replace jet rather than clean. 🤔
 
I just use a piece of rag on some wire to clean my flue.
Maybe the flue is blocked!

As long as the jet is clear it won't need replacing, but it's not easy to clean a small injector

I've got EXACTLY the same problem. I've tried all the troubleshooting suggestions with no improvement. I've also tried tech support at Dometic who suggested it could be the gas valve (but I can't see how I'd be getting a strong burner flame if that's the problem).

If you get a fix please message me :-)
