It is difficult to see the pilot light unless it is dark outside.As for
what may be wrong-repair manuels say to use rubbing alcohol to clean the
orifice.I never have been successful doing this by just soaking the chunk
of metal.What has been suyuccessful 100%of the time is hooking a syringe
(big enouge to make you faint)to the orifice with hose clamps and a hose.
Inject alcohol through the orifice till yoou get tired of doing this.Works
every time.Not only that , but this is the only repair that I have found
the refrig to need anyway-ever(besides that stupid fan).I have had my frig
out 20 times and have determined this the hard way.
