Not sure about the fridge. But if I did the same to the stove and left the knob "on" would air not enter the lines?

When i try to light the stove for example after doing this I get 2-3 seconds of air before it lights. I assume I would get the same air in the fridge gas line causing difficulties in lighting. I find if I light the stove first it gets any air out of the lines and the fridge starts more easily.
