Grr. The f/f worked fine 3 weeks ago so it hasn't all seized up.

But now it thinks it is working on gas, as no error message. I know we have gas.

But what is strange is that it is not even clicking to fire up when I switch it on and off. Well, it gives are half hearted double click and then goes silent.

I tried YouTube but hopeless.

Any ideas?
 
When my fridge did this it was one of those grey boxes with the pnk label or the one with te white label because it’s a different fridge to mine I’m not sure which box it was but I got a new one for £60/70 off eBay and some kind person replaced it the wires were just pull out spade and a couple of screws to hold the thing in place but I can’t remember what it was called.
Note I’m no expert nd could be completely wrong.

If you post the fridge model number, it would help with suggestions, it is on a label inside the fridge.
Annie is right in the suggestion of the ignition module (IMO) it has been covered a few times, I think that it was I who suggested it to Annie but I could be wrong , I am always suggesting something 🤣
When the module fails it either doesn't click or continues clicking even with the gas lit

Fridge problem

Just been out to the van and tried the fridge on gas and encountered a problem.It's a dometic 3 way fridge and you have to push the thermostat button in when lighting on gas and release when the burner lights and the igniter stops clicking.The igniter kept clicking so I assumed the burner wasn't...

AAA battery behind the ignition button?

We had a new controller unit 18 months ago, thinking that was causing the previous fridge problems. In the end, it was a blocked supply! But, fortunately, I have the old and probably OK controller, with us!
But could do with identifying the fault before we pay to replace it. Ho hum ... there's always something!
 
At Fiat in Heraklion atm ... fixing cab heating, so will see if I can identify the ignition switch and clean it. The clicking stops, so reading the above and link to previous Annie's issue, it sounds more like that.
BTW, no ignition battery. And I'll dig out the model no.
Thanks guys
 
Fixit man in Hetaklion then stopped answering our calls so he was obviously too busy!

We won't be using the mh between now and end July as house guests and will fly back to the uk when my first grandchild arrives.

So I'll book repairs on the Greek mainland. There's a newish place near Athens that has a free serviced aire. They can look at the heating that also only works on electric! The joys of a modern motorhome in its 8th year!

Thanks for the comments and thoughts ... reckon ignition switch.
