Subject:Re: Dometic Fridge Electronic Ignition not working?

If it were my van, I'd remove the fridge and clean the cumbustion chamber.  Hook up a BBQ to the
fridge (while it was still out), and with the cumbustion chamber apart, watch for ignition, and
watch for propane (use a BBQ lighter), and make sure that the heat sensor override is right above
the flame. etc.  Also with the fridge out, one can more easily trace the 12 volts.  I once found
that my igniter, was shorting out in back of the fridge, and the only way I found that was with
the fridge out.  if anyone wants to see photos. try:  http://photos.yahoo.com/mwstebbins and click
on "fridge flame".  also my fridge posts are located at:

These may or may not help.  malcolm
