This small-profile gas valve controls the flow of LP gas to your refrigerator's burner assembly, enabling automatic ignition and flame control when operating in gas mode. If your RV refrigerator won't ignite on gas, cycles repeatedly, or shows error codes related to gas operation, a faulty gas valve is often the culprit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis genuine OEM replacement part ensures reliable gas mode operation for your Dometic refrigerator, whether you're boondocking off-grid or simply prefer LP operation. The top-mount configuration and compact size make it suitable for specific Dometic models with space-constrained installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 22px; font-weight: 800; color: #dc2626; margin: 24px 0 16px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 3px solid #dc2626;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12V DC Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with your RV's 12-volt electrical system for reliable valve control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop-Mount Small Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact profile for installations with limited clearance above the burner assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Gas Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enables electronic ignition and flame monitoring for safe, hands-free operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine Dometic OEM Part:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory-spec replacement ensures proper fit and reliable performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect Replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to replace worn or failed gas valves in compatible Dometic absorption refrigerators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 22px; font-weight: 800; color: #dc2626; margin: 32px 0 16px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 3px solid #dc2626;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-bordered table-sm\" style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; width: 40%;\"\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e31098\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e12V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eMount Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eTop Mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eSize Profile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eSmall (Compact)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eDometic Absorption Refrigerators\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eLP Gas Flow Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 22px; font-weight: 800; color: #dc2626; margin: 32px 0 16px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 3px solid #dc2626;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; color: #444; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eQ: How do I know if my gas valve needs replacement?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-left: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003eA: Common symptoms include the refrigerator failing to ignite on gas mode, repeated clicking without ignition, error codes related to gas operation, or the refrigerator working on AC but not LP gas. If you hear the igniter clicking but no flame appears, or if the flame goes out shortly after ignition, the gas valve may be faulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; color: #444; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eQ: What's the difference between top-mount small and other gas valve configurations?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-left: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003eA: The \"top-mount small\" designation refers to both the mounting position (above the burner) and the physical size of the valve body. This compact design is used in specific Dometic models where space is limited. Always verify your current valve's configuration before ordering to ensure proper fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; color: #444; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eQ: Can I install this gas valve myself?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-left: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003eA: Installation requires working with LP gas connections and 12V wiring. If you're comfortable with basic RV repairs and follow proper safety procedures (turn off gas at the tank, disconnect battery), many RV owners successfully replace gas valves. However, if you're unsure about working with gas systems, professional installation is recommended for safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; color: #444; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eQ: Will this work with my Dometic refrigerator model?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-left: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003eA: This valve fits specific Dometic absorption refrigerator models that use a top-mount small gas valve configuration. Check your refrigerator's model number and current gas valve part number to confirm compatibility. The valve is typically located behind the lower access panel on the exterior of your RV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 22px; font-weight: 800; color: #dc2626; margin: 32px 0 16px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 3px solid #dc2626;\"\u003eWhy Choose Elkhart RV Parts?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.8;\"\u003eAt Elkhart RV Parts, we specialize in hard-to-find Dometic refrigerator components like the 31098 gas valve.
