Just read the vanagon.com article about lighting the fridge. Does anyone remember when a listee contacted Dometic about this subject and posted their reply to the list? The Dometic rep said to turn the temp knob to a very low position when lighting. I've done exactly that since I read the post and have had no more trouble lighting up. When I turned the knob all the way to cold, it wouldn't light but would ignite what sounded like mini-explosions every few seconds. Same principle as trying to light a propane torch turned up all the way. It simply does not react to a spark igniter or blows out a match. regards, Fred (former semi-active listee) 89 Westy |
