As a folo-up to my original question about whether I'd be crazy as a
non-mechanic to pull my fridge, I wanted to let listees know that
_before_ I plunged in I tried one last thing, as advocated by listee
George Jannini:

"...try taking off the flue vent cover and putting a vacuum cleaner
to the vent tubes."

I did that, using a nylon sock as a filter, and sucked out a coal
mine's worth of black granules. The upshot: Fridge lit immediately
after that, so thanks to all for the advice\encouragement and I'm
glad I used the vacuum before I actually pulled the thing out.
