On the Autosleeper van we used for the very first time last weekend we realised the ignition button for our Electrolux 4233 S (left in pic) was jammed down in the ignition position & wouldn’t pull out or even turn.
I managed to prise the knob itself away &, with a little help from wd40 & a tap with a hammer, got the spindle to pop back out & rotate.
With the knob back on it now turns & pushes in fine, but when I switch the spark switch on & press the knob I can hear one whoof of the gas trying to catch but it doesn‘t quite make it & the sparking just continues without a flame - so can’t get the fridge to start.
I’m reckoning that being jammed in the pushed down ignition position for so long has maybe caused some part to no longer behave itself properly? Any advice would be much appreciated (can access the back of the fridge from outside by removing the vent panels).
