Autotrail-Thetford Fridge

Does this video help?

David

Greylag the model number should be on a label at the back of the fridge compartment. Try the Leisure shop for parts. I would be very surprised if they cannot supply the part or eqivalent.

Oh wow!  Thanks David.

That Video gives me some confidence to have a look myself.

One of the comments stated the same £ signs that I was given.

Could it be as easy as the video????  I will study the video to fully understand the system.  Many thanks for all the suggestions.

Peedee, I will get the details tomorrow and try LS should I need to.

This site comes up trumps each time

David

I tried the video technique but unsuccessful, so I will try Peedee's suggestion.

Many thanks.

Update!

Just spoken to an engineer servicing another caravan next to mine and he told me exactly the same story my engineer told me.

You cannot get a new PCB anywhere, they do not make them now and no-one repairs them.

This engineer says the first step is to strip and clean the burner and make sure everything is correctly positioned and then if it still does not work, it will be a new PCB which you can't get.

I am about to book the service and see how it goes.

Well.........I have just had the gas burner serviced by a different engineer and he said it is not a problem with the gas burner.  Definitely it is a problem with the circuit board.

He confirmed that they stopped making the boards a while ago and he does not know of anyone making them now.

No problem most of the time as we always go for hookup, just have to watch out on hot days when we are away from the site.

Thanks 

I don't know it this applies to the sort of circuit board you have but I have heard of companies that can repair them. Is that perhaps an avenue worth trying?

David

David. Thanks for replying.

That was my first thought, but the engineer said that there is no-one at present repairing these boards.  Evidently one firm(Apuljack Electronics) is considering? this repair so I will have to wait and see.

It's not urgent, van will be in storage soon and by spring things might have changed.

Just heard from Apuljack they do not repair 'error 9's', so we will have a van that cannot use gas anymore.

We always use hookup so not too much of an issue, unless we want to have a day out in hot weather.

My engineer said good luck if you decide to replace the fridge, as that fridge will not come out through the main door and likewise with the new one going in!

Never know how things may change in the future.
