If the igniter button on the Dometic RM5310 is not functioning after replacing the battery, possible reasons include:
1. The new battery was inserted with the wrong polarity. 2. The battery cap was not properly reinstalled. 3. The battery is faulty or discharged. 4. There is a fault in the igniter mechanism unrelated to the battery.
Ensure the battery is a type AA, inserted correctly with proper polarity, and that the cap is securely in place. If the issue persists, the igniter itself may be defective.
