Gas appliances partially ok.. (1 Viewer)

[Neil183]

Hi

On my 2008 Burstner Elegance i700 A Class I have developed a problem since bringing it out of a 2 months lay up.

The cooker/hob/grill work fine on gas but the fridge does not, (its OK on hook up though).
I can hear the ignitor clicking for 30 seconds, then nothing, I've also tried turning on and off as the manual suggests to clear any air locks but without any success. I also swapped gas bottles over in desperation.
Its a Dometic RMT7655L absorption fridge/oven.

Does anybody have any suggestions please??

Many thanks

Neil.

I would clean the burner assembly. Particularly the jet.

OK, will give it a go.
Is this a DIY jobby would you say (I'm fairly handy!)

Lay-up can allow corrosion to take place. The cleaning of jets, which I have never done but watched a few times, looks really simple.

Yes very simple, if a little fiddly. Would suggest watching a couple of YouTube vids to assist before you starting. Take your time, don’t drop/loose bits, and be gentle with it. Transformed my fridge, which I thought was already good.

I suppose that nobody turned off the gas stopcock to the hob a couple of months ago!

Ok, I've cleaned out the burner assembly and jet (both were actually quite clean) but unfortunately the same problem exists.
Has anybody got any further advice, or can recommend somebody to work on Dometic fridges near St Albans ideally?
Many thanks
