Hi Harold

Removing the fridge and cleaning the combustion chamber will help a lot. You
might have some dust accumulated inside the combustion chamber which could
prevent the spark to lite properly the small jet of propane or the quality
of the flame is bad. When the combustion chamber is cleaned, it is very easy
to light the fridge.

Good luck

Subject: question before I remove the fridge

For the 9 years I have owned my van, I have been able to light the fridge
with minimal difficulty. I am now having a problem and need some advice.

Before, when lighting the fridge, I would follow the directions and when I
pushed the button for gas mode, the light would flicker, I would hold down
the "flame failure safety device" and pump like crazy until the light quit
flashing and I would have an operating fridge. Now, when I push the button
for gas mode, the light comes on but does not flicker. Thus, it acts as if
the fridge is lite when in fact it is not. Any idea what might be wrong or
what is happening.

The fridge works on AC, I had it on all day yesterday and it cooled fine. I
have propane because both the stove and the Propex heater work.

Thanks for any advice.

Harold
