Still probably on theme as with gas powering the fridge, things are more pushed due to the flues contribution.

Are we sure that habitation doors closing on fridge vents obstruct their function, or do they arguably augment them? Hopefully they close with a designed gap.

Spaced ideally the door could then well augment the "chimney effect" so improving the air flow over the heat exchanger's coils.

IMO, the bigger problem with them there is that is the awning side, so it causes restrictions.

if this doesn’t work try going to twitter and follow Safefill. Not very good with all this link lark!🤣🤣

@ Merve, Thanks very interesting as my nearest Morrison’s selling lpg is about a mile away.

@ Brue and Ocsid, the strange part of the fridge not cooling on gas.  In both cases, which were approximately 10 years apart, was the fridge had been working perfectly the previous weekend.  Also visually I didn’t seem to shift much dirt and certainly nothing like cobweb, but the fridge cooled fine afterwards.  The current fridge manual states helpfully that it should be serviced annually or more often if used on gas.  With absolutely no definition of what more often actually means.

We get ours serviced every year, basically we should have set the fridge at a lower temperature at the start, not overloaded it and not opened the door too much whilst the thermostat did it's work. I even had a look on YouTube after the event and there was some helpful advice on there. At first OH was convinced the thermostat had gone. It was an expensive lesson food wise. But when you're off EHU you're dependent on alternative means. Our habitation door does cover the vents so although there might be some vertical airflow in hot calm weather it didn't help. We don't use an awning and just had a canopy and partial windbreak up.

So there you go, read the instructions and follow advice....a pity we lost the other thread on this subject. Air flow inside the fridge and outside too, temperature settings and time allowed to reach settings and not too much food in one go.

Oh and don't take one gas bottle if you can take two. The nearest gas supplier might be a fair old walk, they don't all deliver.

Thanks for all the suggestions, always useful. 

1 gas bottle, school boy/girl error. I speak from experience 

A autochange over regulator is one of my top accessories and cheaper than a replacement trauma regulator. 

Just a thought. The gas valve which is situated at the front right  behind the plastic trim- on ours anyway can stick. Particularly after a long cold wet winter so if your fridge isn’t getting any gas but everything is switched on, try a sharp tap on the gas valve ( the big brass assembly) and that can free it. Worked for me just fine. 

Merve posting a link HERE which you may not of seen. Hope you check this thread fairly regularly 😉. Rowena is looking for basic sites users,  just up your street me thinks 😉😉

Thanks Bakers- good of you. Have done the necessary.
