mildi Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hi everyone, I have just fitted a new power board to our N175 AES fridge. Straight forward and didn't have to take the fridge out. It has not been used for about 6 weeks when the power board fault happened. It is working OK on hook up and 12v but when I change it to gas, it ignites but then times out showing error code 9. I have checked the flame which is clean and blue and given it a good clean to get rid of any dust. The igniter is set at about 4mm to the burner and sparks constantly during the 30 second ignition but then times out. All other gas appliances are working without problems. What else should I be looking for before having to buy new parts. Many thanks, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Guidance on Thetford fridge error codes can be found here https://caravanchronicles.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/troubleshooting-fridges.pdf though from your comments I’m guessing you already have this information. There are a fair number of on-line entries referring to this problem http://tinyurl.com/yaqaw3q4 but I suspect you will have explored the GOOGLE-search avenue and tried out all the ‘fixes’ suggested.

weldted Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 From memory the ignighter also acts as the thermocouple, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildi Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 I have ordered a new thermocouple so will give that a try, I have checked all the connections but it still timed out. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildi Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 A quick update. New thermocouple has been fitted and the fridge is now working normally on gas. Cost about £11 plus postage and took about 15 minutes to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
