Does anyone have any technical knowledge of Electrolux 3-way fridges?

George Telford perhaps?

The gas igniter on ours is not 'clicking' , it works fine on 12v & 240v and is not a problem with the gas flow because it usually 'clicks' to attemp to relight when the gas runs out, but this weekend it just stopped working.

No bloody clickety click means no cold fridge while wild-camping, which is our main form of camping so simply going on EHU is not an option - neither is leaving the engine running all day to stay on 12v!

If nobody can offer any advice, then does anyone know of a good (cheap & efficient) service technician in the northwest (Manchester area)?

PLEEEEEAASE HELP!

Phil

Hi Phil

Wizard's the man for these, he seems to have all the manuals !!

Which model number fridge? Not 100% because I have never had the electronic ignition type, but I believe they have a couple of AA Batteries, this is to stop it draining the battery flat if unattended (same set up as a Truma heater in effect) perpared to be blown out of the water on this though

Hi Jimmy,

Not absolutely sure about the model, but I think it's the RM21.

The original instruction booklet is still in the m/h but it's not really very helpful, a proper manual would be a lot more use.

As far as I can work out there is little more than a switch, an igniter and a gas nozzle, so it could be a faulty switch or could be the igniter but I can't get the fridge out to do a continuity test on the switch or wiring...grrr.

I found a company website with igniters for sale, one was a piezo type (is this what I want?) at about £8.00, the other type was about £62.00 (hope this is not what I want)

Still puzzled and hoping for help

Phil
