Hi I have got a Electrolux 120 gas fridge in my caravan but i can not get it to work, is there anyone out there who has had one who can help me out please, the wife is getting fed up of having to shop every day

Have you tried looking here.

What does your fridge not do? What is the fault? this will make it easier for others to help.

Hi there,

If i remember right, you have to quickly turn the igniter button on the bottom panel to light the pilot at the back...... it's a bit like trying to strike a flint, takes a bit of fiddling but after you get the knack it's simple enough.....you should see the 'pilot light' at the far back on the left when it's lit ok.

Hope that helps a bit.

Hi ken

have you tried to see if the gas is coming throu to the fridge and make sure that the lighter is working. there is normale a cover on the outside you can unscrew to see the back of the fridge to smell the gas is there. If it lights but still dose not work another trick is to take the fridge out off the hole its in and turn it upside slowley as somtimes the chemacals seprate after it has stood for time 

We had one of these and the flint had 'expired'.  We couldn't find a replacement so we used a long barbeque lighter to ignite the fridge.  It was a bit fiddly but it worked.

We also had to remove the fridge at one stage and turn it upside down.

Once the fridge was working, it was very efficient.  My daughter has it now and it is still working well.

Thanks for the help i will go and try again now, the problem was i could not get the pilot light to work, and i was not sure what the controls on the bottom were, one is the temp control one is the ignition that i dont think is working but there is another knob i am not sure about, but now i know where the pilot light is i will try it manualy

Thanks again

Ken
