Fridge help - gas lit but not cooling

[n brown]

If a fridge is working on 240v an 12v but not on gas can anything be gained by turning it upside down

if it's working on 2 sources ,then that side of things won't benefit

That's exactly my experience, you have just one flame from one jet.
I've never had problems with the actual jet, just debris that falls down the long tube above the flame because it's rusting inside the tube,

Well I took off covers an tried a airline to blow out any debris but no success. Few days later I remembered the gas manifold so took off the fridge connection and gave the pipe to the fridge a really good spray with brake cleaner a couple of times make sure there is no heat or sparks in area when doing this, Now after allowing a hour or so for it to dry out I reconnected it and it worked an still is after a couple of days so must have been a obstruction in the jet area ? When I get home I'll remove Burner an give it a proper clean

Sounds like some sort of corrosion inside the gas supply line to the fridge that caused a partial blockage. I seem to recall this being mentioned somewhere previously??
Interesting, so you had a flame but it obviously wasn't powerful enough to get the fridge circulating.

When you say "lights (and stays lit) on gas" do you mean the main burner "lights (and stays lit)" or the pilot?

If you don't know the difference say so, don't guess!I’ve dealt with 3 way fridges for over 30 years and never found one that has a pilot and a burner!

I’ve dealt with 3 way fridges for around 40 years and never found one that has both a pilot light AND a burner….
