Hi just wondering if anyone can help with our problem.  Just come back from a long weekend away down in stratford opon avon.  Had a lovely time apart from our fridge decided to stop working on gas, and being in a field watching autograss cars with no hook up was quite a problem!  Luckly we took our little generator so we could leave that running up to 10 o clock and keep the fridge cold on 240v, and having good neighbours to keep essentals cool at night.  The fridge lights on gas first time and pilot light stays on.  Thought I would try here first to see if anyone has had simialar prob, or knows what it might be before taking it somewhere to get charged a fortune for a well known fault.  Fridge is most important peice of eqiupment having 3 small boys one of which is only 6 months old, and price of petrol to high to run off generator.

Cheers Mike

Hi Mike, try doing a search theres a thread on here and it's recent too, were you on level ground?

Mine stopped cooling over the bank holiday. It wasn't level and I've since learnt the importance of that. It lights and runs but won't cool.

It's been upside down and jiggled all around, but no change.

Thanks for all the replies.  We were level, even had spirit level in fridge.  Cooker, hob and water heater all worked fine, just fridge playing up!  I changed from butane to propane after problems with butane on easter weekend (freezing), but we have used caravan 3 times since change over with no problems.  Even tried new bootle of propane just incase there was a problem with the other.  Will bring van home and try it again over night, if that doesnt work i will look into the other suggestions.

Cheers Mike
