First trip away in our new FC and we left the instructions at home. Doh! We are on 12v with no EHU available.

We can't get our fridge lit on gas. We've used the hob & oven ok. OH thinks he saw a spark last night and heard a whoosh but we couldn't see a flame and it didn't get cold. We've turned on the gas in the locker, the valve in the locker and the valve under the sink. We've taken the vent cover off outside and nothing looks untoward.

And our taps don't work. The lights and toilet do. We've checked the plug connection behind the sink but not sure where else to look.

Any suggestions pls? We had a 98 Cruiser before so just wondering how much different a new one is and if there's something we've overlooked.

Thanks.

Thank you. We've now managed to get the taps working, not sure what did it as we tried many things.

Now stuck with a non-working fridge. We'll try again when it's less sunny as it'll be easier to see any sparks or pilot light. We had a problem with our last fridge and ended up replacing the piezo ignition, so we might try that again.

I always had a devil of a job to get my firdge lit on gas. I don't use it on gas often, and found if I hold the gas button in for a number of seconds, (seems too long but it works) before pressing the piezo, then it goes first time. It needs this time for the gas to get back through the pipe it would seem. It is also a dificult to see the light in that little window in the corner when you have vaifoculs!!!!!

We have a Pullman and if the unit is not perfectly level it wont work.

Hope this helps!!

Thanks everyone. We checked the level and the bubble was between the lines.

I know what you mean about it being a knack. But we used to get our 98 FC fridge lit fairly quickly so we think we're missing something. Is there a way of checking if the gas is coming through?

We're home now and I'll do some research.
