Dometic Refrig won't start on Gas FOLLOW UP
Tried to start my refrigerator yesterday on gas, and it wouldn't start. I heard a clicking sound a few seconds after I turned it on.....but never would start. Tried it several times. Didn't try it...

Just went over and fixed it.......don't know what I did to fix it...but it works. I took the back cover off, and blew hard near the burner....went up and fired up one of the cook top burners..waited a few minutes and turned the refrig on AC....I had the generator and engine running.......I couldn't tell if the refrig was on or not...but the reset button didn't lite up....so I assume it was working..I next switched over to gas and it lit off. I tried it a few different times with the generator running and off, making sure it would switch from AC to gas and no problems......so if anyone needs any help fixing their refrig, just let me know, I'm an expert...NOT LOL
Thanks for all the info

Did you have a rusty taste on your tongue after blowing near the burner? IMHO you need to remove the burner tube to get rid of all the rusty stuff. But I'm glad you got the gas part of your refrigerator working.
Thing is about getting the gas working, it's usually not the end of it and have got mine working multiple times. Then it goes out with wind, altitude, going down the road or for no apparent reason and one of the reasons for building and installing an automatic inverter circuit to supply it. Still use the gas for dry camping more than a few hours, since I only have two 6v batteries.
