Correct, if the Control board is working correctly to run the fridge on AC.
Also, since the gas valve is clicking that part is working too.
That means the igniter is defective or the signal from the control board to the igniter is not working.
Make sure that the igniter wiring from the control board is in the proper connector on the control board.
If you have a dvm you can watch the signal, 12vdc coming out of the control board to the igniter. It should go to 12vdc when you turn on the fridge and have the gas button depressed. Have to have someone help you do this. The signal is going to be there for about 3 seconds...
I had to replace my igniter about 10 years ago. I also replace my control board because when traveling, sometimes the flame would go out due to wind. I got the Dinosaur Board and ended that issue.
The Dinosaur board will retry relight several times... Also has an adjustment that you can raise or lower the fridge temp a couple of deg.. Nice feature too. Search for Dinosaur board domestic.
