Re: Electrolux fridge - not cooling
If dual Is the 12v electric side working? if the flue is giving out warm air but fridge not cooling, the coolant in the fridge may have leaked out. It is also worth turning the fridge upside down for 12 or 24 hrs (seriously, don't laugh!). I've done this before and it seems to help.
Is it an RM210?
best of luck

If you'd read the post you'd know that all of that has been more than covered.

Re: Electrolux fridge - not cooling
I have now had success after 47 Posts and highlight my final actions as follows:-
1. I removed the flue pipe lagged area to check there was good contact between flue pipe and ammonia gas pipe.
The gas brass jet/nozzle was soaked in carburetor cleaner and finally blown through with compressed air.
I fitted a ptfe gasket between brass gas jet and burner tube to ensure a good airtight seal.
Fridge had been upside down for a few days!
Made up a S/S helix baffle and introduced into existing flue pipe to create a better heat generation and thus transfer to gas cycle.
A combination of all the above has now enabled my fridge to cool on gas !!! It lit without problems and was cold in 1 hour and by morning the little ice tray had cubes !
A very satisfying result after so many kind Posts by fellow 80/90 Club Members, a big thank you to you all and a Happy Christmas
I think I’ll sit in my Campervan on Christmas Day and drink a cold beer to your good health and Happy Days

Re: Electrolux fridge - not cooling
Good news, thank you for updating, may look at mine now as it let me down in the summer and I was thinking of a compressor upgrade but they are smaller

Re: Electrolux fridge - not cooling
I thought that , when i had to move to compressor due to interior design issues , i ended up with a domestic CRe80 which is 78l , which is more capacity that my old three way (66l)
