Is there definitely gas getting through. Gas ignition units usually have some form of power to make them spark but I don't know how they do it on the domestic ones, as it could be a battery or a feed from the 12v supply, if it's 12v supply is your power turned on and some juice in the leisure batteries.

How old is your Dometic? My 1999 one has a piezo ignition that you press, get a loud click and a spark.

If its an auto fridge/freezer check the wire connections to the sparker disconnect them clean and re-connect after that you may have to go to a dealer as there is an electro-magnetic switch and ECU units involved in fridge
