Thetford fridge problem

[Peter Adams]

Hi all. I have a 2010 Thetford 3way fridge ( can't see which model it is unfortunately). It ignites on gas ok ,runs for about an hour and then stops and shows fault 9. It wont then re ignite even by turning it off and on again. If I leave it a while, presumably till it cools down it will then re ignite once turned off and on again. It then goes fine until the same thing happens ,every time. Anyone had this and know what is wrong?

Just found fridge section!

Could be this:

Fault code 9 - Gas lock out after 30 seconds, there is a remedy for this that the dealer can do which involves shortening the probe so that it intensifies the flame recognition on the power board, thus keeping the flame lit, a faulty pcb can also be to blame for this fault​

Thanks. Seeing lots of Thetford problems but I am hoping someone will have had this same issue and know the exact cause. I'm in Nz so hard to find dealers and spares to say the least!
