Hi Ken,

Did you clean the orifice where the gas actually come out? This could be
your problem. Clean it with alcohol (don't poke at it) and blow it out with
compressed air. Of course to do this you have to pull the fridge out again
:-(  If you do, you can hook up a barbecue propane tank and make damn sure
the fridge lights before you put it back in again.............

Cheers,
Doug
