This procedure works every time for me...no more "warming up" > the fridge on AC overnight. Here's the weird thing...I'd read over and over about how hard it was to get these fridges to light. And I can't easily plug mine into AC. So I was ready for a struggle when I tried to light mine the first time. I followed the instructions on the door and it lit on the fourth stroke of the ignitor. No drama at all. It's lit right up every time I've tried since, usually on only the second time I click. I don't know what's different but I must be doing something right. ;) -- David Brodbeck, N8SRE '82 Diesel Westfalia '94 Honda Civic Si |
