Tom, The Dometic Silhouette is very comparable to our Flushmount refrigerator using the similar componets. If you are having intermintent gas outage, the first thing to do is to clean the burner and orifice. When cleaning the orifice use a solvent that does not leave a residue (carb cleaner). The Ignition electrode should be 3/16" above the burner and if it has the sensing electrode it needs to be straight out. Make sure the spark does not jump between the electrodes, that will make the ignition module go bad. The gas flame should be non-yellow and be stable. If the flame is eratic or lifting, the gas pressure may be too high. 11 inches water column is the correct pressure. Hope this helps.

Subject: GMC: Refrigerator Shuts Down
Our 1974 Eleganza SE has a replacement Refrigerator -- Servel by Domestic
(S530 Silhouette).
I am trying to figure out why it shuts off when I still have plenty of gas.
One the first trip, it ran for about two weeks and the "check (gas)" light
came on when it shut down. There was still plenty of gas - almost a full
tank. I filled the gas tank and when we arrived home ran the refrigerator
until it shut down again - about a week. On Saturday I filled the gas (took
$2.00) again and fired up the refrigerator. On Sunday AM the refrigerator is
still cold but it has shut down again.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Can anyone suggest a simple fix that I
may be overlooking?
