Fridge problem, won't light

[sagart]

Dometic RM4213s in Autosleeper Topaz.
Pressing the orange igniter switch, gives one pop and very rapid flashing of the flame failure light but no ignition.
Gas bottle is full and all valves are open....ideas welcomed!!!

Could be that the cellanoid is stuck in the closed position, the jets may be blocked and need a clean so the safety cut out is on, same as with the cellanoid.! Give the cellanoid a tap, it may free it and the start up. Good luck.!

My son had problems lighting his fridge when he bought his Autosleeper. It turned out the gas knob had worked itself too far onto the metal rod it sits on, so when you push it in it doesn't depress the rod far enough. Try pulling the plastic knob out a bit, or even remove it and pack it off a little.

this can be helped by pulling off the knob and stuffing a little bit of tinfoil in the hole so the gas tap spindle doesn't go all the way in.
also are there any problems with any other appliances ?
removing the lower vent outside should give access to the burner and a quick puff of compressed air or even blowing down a bit of tube may clear any debris from the gas element

Are you holding the knob in for 30 seconds or so before pressing the igniter switch

or do you have a new bottle fitted and there might be a lot of AIR in the pipes? When I have the gas switched off, it can take up to 10-12 attempts to get the fridge burning and the boiler
