Hello from a first time poster & relatively new campervan driver.

We have an Electrolux RM4207 3-way fridge in Colin, our Talbot Symphony Autosleeper.

It works fine on 240V (& presumably on 12V) but we aren't at all sure if the gas is working.

We press the red rocker switch & there is a 'ticking' noise as it sparks. After a short while the ticking stops but there is no blue flame visible through the little observation window in the bottom of the fridge. There is condensation on the inside of the little window that is disappearing now that we've stopped messing with the thing!

We know that i thas worked in the past - it was demonstrated to us when we bought it and as I said we know that the fridge works on 240v - what could be the problem.

To answer questions that might come - the van is currently not level & we don't know how full the gas bottle is - are either of those likely to stop the flame from being visble? Is it possible that the fridge is working without that flame being visible?

Thanks in advance & apologies if this is answered elsewhere.

Have Colin, will travel

If the van isn't level if will stop your fridge working. we had the same problem last weekend at Knight Stainforth but once we put the van on levellers problem solved.
