Just about to leave to camp at the beach and can't get the @#!!! dometic to light. Have lit it numerous times before... sometimes takes a few tries, but always lights... this time, not even a flicker. Just filled the propane tank. Turned valve on tank to open position. Stove lights, so I know propane is flowing. Removed plastic flue cover. Put right hand button straight up (I position). Turned switch to gas flame (as opposed to battery or 110 V electrical operation). Set temperature to max. Pushed pump in and out numerous times, then pushed in button and held it in while pushing pump all the way in til it clicks numerous times. Held button in 10 - 15 seconds. No light in the window. Tried this many times... nothing. Tried electrical operation... turned off gas settings, turned on electrical settings. Know plug is hot. So far, nothing. If I recall it takes awhile to kick on when on electrical, right? We'll see what happens overnight on that one. Would like to switch to propane in the morning before we leave... anybody have any suggestions? BTW, I've always gotten it to light in the past... probably a dozen times or so... but the fridge never seems to get very cold. It was cool... and on the way to cold, but never seemed to get there. Never used one before so don't really know how cold they get. At one point she almost made ice in one of those silly little dollhouse ice trays... but not really. Not sure what I'd have done with those twelve tiny little ice droppings anyway even it if she had completed the task, but... TIA Mick Kalber 89 Syncro Westy "Daddeo" Hilo, Hawaii
