Hi
I assume the fridge will light when a knob is held in and then when you release the knob the flame goes out. If this is the case then you have a faulty thermocouple or when the ignitor was replaced the thermocouple probe was not correctly positioned in the flame.
In any case it's a straight forward job for a competent person to do. If you can get to me (see WWW for location) I would be happy to have a look.
Regards

Hmmmmm, always the worst kind of problems, these intermittent ones! When was the last time the fridge was out and burner serviced? Depending on the type of fridge I suppose it could be possible that when the fridge gets down to temperature the flame drops to a smaller flame, not heating the thermocouple enough which will cut off the gas supply. But this doesn’t explain why it only happens once on a weekend!
If it's not been serviced for some time (which is usual as fridges are not usually removed and serviced as part of a caravans annual service unless requested by the customer) then I think this is the first course of action.

We have a Abbey Vogue and the fridge will not stay lit. It has just had it's ignition replaced and now it will light but will not stay lit 
We have drawn the gas through via the hob etc but still no joy. Can anyone suggest anything !!! Or can anyone recommend a repair man in the York area. Look forward to hearing from you ....... anyone ......... hopefully.
