Domestic 3804 Not Cold On Gas
I have a 1990 dometic that works fine on electric, but barely works on gas. A few weeks ago it lasted about a day on gas, now it melts down within a few hours. The cooling unit is spotless, I mean no ...

Thanks for all the replies. General consensus is the fchimney needs to be cleaned. The dometic manual says the burner needs to be centrally located under the flue. Biscuit, you said it can't be touching the sides. My flame looks like that, but I would say it needs to move right about an 1/8 in. I've looked in there, and don't see any sideways adjustment. I do see screws with a slot that the circuit board is stewed to, but loosening 3 does nothing, I'm thinking there's one more behind the orifice assembly, or better yet, can anyone tell me how to slide the burner over?. Pulling the fridge out right now is prolly not gonna happen. Have a trip planned for next week, in the process of finding styrofoam coolers that will fit in the fridge. Lol.
Your problem has now entered the stage where you WANT it to be simple. It is NOT. You need to pull the refer to verify the condition of the baffle and if it has one. The flame burner mount is preset and almost impossible to be mounted OFF. Your flue does not need cleaned. If it was dirty enough to stop cooling then it would block the exhaust and then go out. I have NEVER had to pull a refer to clean the flue. I use a angled air nozzle and blow up from the bottom above the burner. That will clean any possible dirt or rust build up. Go on your trip and then pull the refer when you get back. Doug
