The igniter reigniter, used on certain

Dometic

model refrigerators, operates on 12 volt current.

On gas operation the igniter senses the resis-

tance through the flame between the electrode

and burner. When there is no flame at the

burner, the resistance is high and the igniter

begins sparking to light the burner. As soon as

the flame is lit, the resistance between the

electrode and burner drops and the igniter

stops sparking. The resistance is monitored by

the igniter, and, if for any reason the flame

goes out, the igniter begins sparking until the

burner is lit. This insures that the flame will

always be lit when desired. Each time the

igniter reigniter system sparks, a light will

illuminate on the lower left front corner of the

refrigerator.

If the electrode does not spark first, make sure

the igniter is receiving 12 volts. If the igniter is

receiving 12 volts and produces no spark, it

must be checked for operation.

Turn the refrigerator off and remove the wire

between the electrode and igniter. Now turn the

refrigerator to the gas mode. If no internal

clicking sound is heard the igniter is defective.

It is important to remove the high voltage wire

that goes to the electrode from the igniter when

you are checking the igniter for operation. The

high voltage wire and the electrode can be

shorted to ground causing the igniter reigniter

to think that the flame is lit, resulting in no

spark on gas operation.

(62)

The distance between the tip of the electrode

and the burner, known as the spark gap,

should be 3/16 of an inch. A greater distance

will create a slow spark causing the light to

blink. A lesser distance will create a fast spark

that may not light the burner.
