Mend Dometic RM 6271 Caravan Fridge Not Working

Caravan fridge not working?

My RM 6271 dometic fridge is not well. when using gas it ignites the burner, but will not stop clicking. Even though it clicks the fridge definatley works in this mode. I cannot make it work in 12v or 240v. its a 2003 model. Any help would be good even if its just to stop the clicking.

Many thanks for advise. I have stopped the igniter clicking, it was a bad conection at the mounting of the ceramic joint with burner. Continued to investigate fridge probs today, the fridge works and cools great on gas but will not work on 240v or 12v. There is power to both currents at the fridge electrical points but neither of the elements are warming. The fridge IS quite level

set multimeter to resistance and take a reading across the 2 wires.Do this is on both element.no reading on multimeter usually indicates issue.if clicking still happens after lighting it must be the flame sensor not heating up to disable ignitor

Thanks but the ingniter is auto, in that the fact it starts to spark as soon as you seclect gas mode. I have just checked the 240 & 12v supplies to the unit and both are present albeit the 12v is reading around 10v on my meter. The caravan battery is fully charged. Can you suggest how I test both the heating elements....I have now removed them both. Laymans terms please. Thanks

don't know the model but some you have to turn off the switch once the gas lights.this stops the igniter clicking.12v and 240 you need to check supply gets to fridge and also check the heaters for both voltages
