Help with gas/ignition on fridge

Got my 12V power issue fixed so thank you all for that help. My next trouble shooting issue is the fridge.

I have a Dometic Americana RM2652. I was not getting gas to the fridge but when I would turn it on I would hear a loud click followed by a series of smaller clicks. I assume all those small clicks were the ignition attempts from the 12V power. I figured out the gas issue and now I have gas going back there. I can light the stove burners and the oven pilot. The problem now with the fridge is that I get the loud click but no longer the series of smaller clicks.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
  • Should be a 3A automotive blade type fuse for the DC circuit.....but if it was blown you would not have any panel lights etc.

    (5A glass fuse is for the 120V AC electric element)

    Check the spark electrode is centered over burner slots, has a 3/16" - 1/8" spark gap and that it is not 'tracking' to ground (cracked ceramic, bad wires etc)

    Look in the burner tube and see if there is a flame.


    I don't think so because it still goes through the cycle of retrying every 2 min and then it times out and the check light comes on. Same thing as before but now there are no small clicks happening. It's frustrating because I know before I just didn't have gas but now there should be gas but it isn't trying to light. I am going to trouble shoot the 12V power to that spot tonight. I think there is a fuse on the back of the fridge.
