What type of ignition? If direct spark a bad ground could cause both failures. Also there is a control board that may have poor contacts. What brand of fridge and age?
It is a 51621 Silhouttte by Dometic. 1993 model... electronic ignition. After it lights, it has a nice blue flame but goes out in about 1 - 4 minutes. has a good spark to it.
I messed with it a little more today. I'm thinking it must be a bad thermocouple. It lights for about 30 seconds then I hear a click and it shuts off. Guess I'll do a search and see if I can get one.
The www.dutchman.com has a great troubleshooting page in their service tab.
Also several manuals.
Also www.bryantrv.com has some too
