Also try chilling the fridge through A/C first - seems to help get it lit
especially if the fridge has not been operated for awhile  And try
different speed variations of pumping and clicking the fridge lighter
button.

My fridge takes a little persuasion to start - but it does light....and
once it does, it seems to light quicker when travelling and switching it
off and back on to gas.   You likely know this, but in case you don’t, as
it is not very intuitive -  flame symbol on the fridge panel is the
 shutdown position and the “I” is the open or on position -
