    The way this usually works is that the ignition has a heat sensor at the gas burner of the fridge. Once that is hot enough, it switches off the "clicker".

    I don't know if that can be serviced or needs to be replaced ...but having a gawk at your burner and a little clean around there with a small brush may be a good start.

    Thanks Peasant, I had a look at it this evening and using a blow gun from my compressor blew all around the burner and it appeared to have worked as it started right away. Did'nt see anything blowing out but it must have removed some dust or spider web.
