Fridge not working on gas
We had the caravan fridge serviced earlier this year and the burners were replaced (a problem with fridges of the time, apparantly).
Anyway, we rarely use the fridge on gas, but had to on one site last year. It smelled a bit funny, hence the repair and service.
So I thought it best to put it on gas every so often, to make sure it worked. Every time it has come on instantly after selecting the gas setting.
When we arrived at our current site, as we were setting up I noticed it had inadvertently been put on the gas setting. More worrying was that the blue light was flashing and a fault symbol showing (fault 9).
I've since tried it several times and it won't work on gas (it's fine on electric and was working when we were last towing).
Plenty of gas, isolators still set to on.
Am I missing something?

After a failed ignition attempt, you sometimes really DO have to wait several minutes before trying again. (All the instruction manuals mention this .... but we are all impatient, and most often it will light straight away on a second/third attempt anyway). The gas/air mixture from the failed attempt needs to disperse before the burner will relight. The symptom always seems worse when the gas has been turned off at the bottle for some time presumably because a little air has entered the system, so the burner does not light on the first attempt.

Your technical advice still came in handy in 2021. Just come across the exact same problem and by following your technical know how, I'm cooling on gas. Nice one
