How to stop the Pilot on three way fridge from going out
Permalink  

Hi all,

Just another thing we experienced while away. That been the Pilot light for our fridge going out in strong/ high winds while parked up out on the escartment near  The SA /Wa boarder. It would not stay alight, and having to run the genie through the night.nonono Any  ideas or fixers to stop a repeat.

Jim

If it is a thetford, they had a replacement flue as it let the air go down and put out the pilot light
Easy to replace, Dougwe had the same problem

Yes,  I had the same problem with the flame going out in high wind.

Theford replace the exhaust under warranty to the new design

No problem since

The warranty on the Theford is 3 years (that is if it is this brand

I have a shade on that side I can pull down . If the top cover is damaged ? It may allow breeze to back flow down chimney ? This stopped when I replaced the top cover ., funny that .
