Second fay in France, weather clearing up. But the fridge wrong light. Was working no problem before today.

There is a spark.
There is a poof as the gas ignites.

But it doesn't stay lit.

I only have about 20mb of data left but that's another story. Can't do a lot of searching.

Thanks

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Mine went like that. Need an airline to blow soot out of the pipe base.

Okay. Will try that.

Managed to get it going. But definitely isn't operating properly.

Thanks.

Okay.

In Spain at the now, ironically it looks like my fridge is the only warm place in the country. :(

Crazy yesterday it was properly hot, today there is a snow warning! Only thing for it is to keep heading south.
