Hi
@Roadhouse , if the needle is only on the line between white and green, that is not a satisfactory proper position. The needle should be well into the green area. If not, it indicates insufficient heat on the thermo-couple, because it is either dirty/fouled tip or not properly in full gas flame. The thermo-couple is what keeps the gas flame working if there is sufficient heat, or automatically turns gas off if flame goes out, or insufficient heat is maintained onto tip of thermo-couple. Heat from the gas onto the thermo-couple produces a small electrical current approx 20 to 30ma, just enough to operate needle indicator.
Had a situation where my fridge would light okay and run for a while - about 15 to 20 minutes and the gas would turn off. Noticed that needle indication was lower each time, just a little into the green area. Cleaned end of thermo-couple which was in the proper position in the gas flame, but still problem persisted. Ended up replacing thermo-couple AND upgrading the wiring between end of thermo-couple at control panel and indicator meter and earth point with much, much heavier cable as the thin existing cable causes voltage drop and affects operation of indicator. Since that time, fridge lights easily, flame does not go out AND indicator now goes nearly right across to end of green portion. Interestingly enough, I discovered an upgrade on the web site that increases the thickness of wiring from thermo-couple to the meter and to the earth point to replace earlier model problems with Dometic fridges. However, my fridge is a Thetford, but the same situation can arise.
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE WITH INSUFFICIENT GAS OR ELECTRICAL KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE!!! You also need a good multimeter to measure the small current generated by the gas flame in the thermo-couple.
