We have a Dometic fridge in our Adria motorhome which works fine on EHU and battery when engine running however when the engine is turned off it should automatically switch over to gas but the light just flashes and it does not work on gas. I've had a look behind the vent but can't access the gas burner (which I thought might be blocked). Any suggestions would be appreciated as we're new to motorhoming! Thanks

    Have you checked that the gas isolation tap for it is on ?

    Ok, you have probably checked but is the gas bottle turned on? and then on ours there is also a on off value where the pipe from it goes into the caravan at the regulator thing, and then of course there are on off values inside the van itself? Sorry if you have checked these. Is the hob working?

    I'd to do some faffing with my fridge this afternoon to make 'auto select' gas. Got there in the end by doing as BB suggested ..... turning it all completely off & turning it back on again. wink Faulty EHU post on arrival at site.
