Fridge not working on gas

thetford? dometic?

the manual will give some detail on the fault code...obvious next step is what does the manual say about code 9.

Ian, google found me this...

"Fault code 9 - Gas lock out after 30 seconds , there is a remedy for this that the dealer can do which involves shortening the probe so that it intensifies the flame recognition on the power board , thus keeping the flame lit, a faulty pcb can also be to blame for this fault"

might help when talking to a repairer....

i guess youre still away, but a local engineer might look at it.....hows your French?

Thetford.

Error code 9: Gas lockout because flame fails to ignite after 30 seconds.

Sorted!

Used all my technical knowledge.......turned it off then on again and now it's working 

Thanks for replying, BB.

Works for computers too 

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.

Thanks, Vic.

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
