Help needed with fridge!

[alwaysared]

Hi everyone,

last year I had a new burner and igniter fitted to my three way fridge and it's worked first time everytime since. I tried the fridge last Friday and all was well but this morning I tried it again in preparation for Hereford and it deosn't spark anymore! Anyone got any suggestions? I can't see me going to Hereford without the fridge workung. All other gas appliances work as expected.

Regards,
Del

It does not seem like it...but do not rule out the gas control valve. Rotate the image 90 clockwise. It is the small cylinder. NO gas maybe no spark ?

Okay, I've got the vent off and have blown out around the ignitor and burner with an air gun on my compressor and it has now fired up
I'm afraid to turn it off now incase it doesn't work next time it doesn't matter anyway, I'm still off to Hereford tomorrow, I'll use a cool box for milk and butter, I just hope I can get my freezer packs refroze at the rowing club

That happened to me once.

I took of the exterior vent, wobbled the multi connector, and it fired up again. It was a poor connection.

Mine is piezo ignitor so there shouldn't be any connectors, or should there be?

It could well have been a spider or cobweb or some other foreign object and now you've moved it the fridge has fired up and is ok.
I would turn it off and on again it should be ok.

a push button piezo will have metal bit that earths to the fridge and a wire going to the sparker- tey need to be good contacts
