Before anyone gets annoyed, yes, I did go through the archives and found a couple of suggestions on how to get the fridge lit - I could use some more tips, though. What I've tried: - Followed the instructions printed on the fridge - Lit the burners on the stove to get the propane flowing (stove lit, fridge didn't) - Made sure the condensation drain thing under the fridge was drained - Blew into same to clear "dead air" per archive article - Read through the Dometic manual that was forwarded in .PDF format by a listee for other tips - Rubbed two chicken bones together, voodoo style, while chanting and thinking good thoughts Results: nada. Questions: According to the manual, there is a light on the battery/water level indicator panel that lights up when the propane burner in the fridge is working and lit. Am I right in saying that the light in question is the green light below the red water level light? If so, mine stays on all the time, even thought the entire propane system is turned off at the tank. Does this light serve any other function? There is a peephole in the lower left corner of the fridge interior. Is the fridge pilot light plainly visible through this hole when lit? Should I be able to see the flame through this hole in the daytime? I'd be happy if I could get the fridge running on propane. Any tips, pointers, or other help would be appreciated.
