Hi Murray, this fridge has had it’s issues recently! Just learnt the battery isn’t holding it’s charge and that’s affected the fridge. I did accidentally learn about turning on the gas stove first to help with the connection. Interesting tip about turning off the gas heater! Yes, the taps are under the sink. Thank you

The gas powered fridges have a safety feature that will not allow them to operate if the gas supply is compromised. The best way to get them started is to operate the gas stove first to flood the main gas line.
Start your fridge and keep watching the operation status. It will almost always fail the first two-three attempts within a minute or so. Third time lucky the gas supply should be bubble free and constant.. Turn your gas supply off at the bottle when traveling to minimise gas bleeding from the main line. Turn off your gas heater if you are not using it to lessen potential gas bleeding. (the taps are under your sink if it is the same type as mine).
I learnt all this the hard way also.
Cheers Murray
