dometic fridge doesn't self ignite

Fridge works great on AC and gas but I now have to ignite it by hand. Ideas anyone?

  • That's interesting. I was on the Central California coast when this happened. Humidity was high. Very dry here in Inland Empire I will file that away for the future. Thanks. Thanks also to Admin for moving this to correct forum.
  • I had a leaky creamic body on the electrode, it was OK after it was running and got hot but if you let it set a few weeks it would absorb moisture and not spark. I replaced it and it was fine when I sold the TT.

    Doesn't take much to stop 12V.

    Hope it continues to ignite.

  • Does the electronic ignition make a spark?

    No spark....bad spark electrode, bad high tension wire, bad connection at board, bad ground connection.
