Dennis,
Thank you for your assistance.  However, I have a later model with electronic spark..
so I think I need the DC current for that.  And, as a newbie to the fridge, I am not that
clear on how everything works so bypassing the straight and forward or doing something
slightly differently gives me angst as you can tell by Frank's frustration with me.  I am not that
handy so I ask a lot of questions even if I read something several times.

For example, I am sure someone on this list can get the fridge running without the spark and by
bypassing the safety valve...after all I had a RV FLAPS do that already.  That is how I know
what parts to replace. Not me.  I will probably finally "get it" after I take it apart several more times.

I do appreciate the list and everyone's patience.

--peace--
