My Dometic fridge would not light after the winter layup. Plenty gas. Other appliances lighting ok. Fridge working ok on 12v and 240v.
Switch fridge to gas and the indicator light is steady and you can hear the igniter clicking, but then the clicking stops and the light flashes. Normally trying again after a minute or so works but. Not this time.
The fix in my case was to remove the vent to access the back of the fridge from outside. Locate the gas shut off valve - near the bottom on the left side as you look through the vent. Give the valve body a few sharp taps with a small hammer. Then try igniting again and hey presto all is well again.
Hope this helps someone.
Good luck

Ps mine happened on the first day away in the van this year and the repair was done in a carpark
