Thetford 3 way Fridge/freezer

[Alfie2024]

Hi i have a Thetford 3 way Fridge/freezer , it works on electric but now it will not work on gas. Any ideas?

Has it been serviced ?
It's usually dust and debris in the flue and gas jet causing the problem

More info needed. Just for starters...........
What model/age is it?
Do you have gas to the hobs?
Can you hear the igniter clicking?
Is there a flame at the burner?
Can you feel any warmth at the top vent?
Are there any panels lights showing?

Thank you for your quick reply.
I will check that it's been serviced that sounds possible ?

I have a 20 year old Thetford N145 fridge/freezer. It's been a source of several challenges but working at the moment on 12V/240V/gas. The gas burner had to be changed recently as it had become badly corroded.

Which leads me to a further question - what did your corroded burner look like? I have a 32 year old 3-way Electrolux which is in full time use on gas and which I paid a bit of money to have inspected and serviced in January, but which is seriously underperforming.

I can see the burner through the porthole and it's glowing more red wire than blue flame. Only the freezer box is chilling at this stage...

A couple of pictures of the corroded burner both in-situ and removed.

To all those who replied so quickly my fridge/freezer is working perfectly on gas now!
It was the sensor piled with ice, free now to work.
