Subject:Re: dometic pilot goes out when thermostat turned up

This is on a '90 where the layout is different:

A|B|C|D|E

A= pump
B= Pilot start button
C= Thermostat knob
D= Gas valve knob
E= Mode selector

Gas valve (D) open. Thermostat (C) set to 0: Pilot LED lights up. Turn
thermostat (C) higher (cooler) pilot goes out. I'm going to pull the fridge
out and investigate this week, hopefully.

Thanks,
andy
