Hello all. I am trying to figure out how to get my fridge to light.

I've already cleaned the jet, and made sure that everything was
connected. It never did work. So I pulled it again and rigged up a
regulator & hose to attach it to a BBQ tank. From what I can tell,
there doesn't appear to be ANY gas getting into the chamber. At least
it doesn't smell like there is. I cleaned the jet (in alcohol) and
can see light through it, so I am fairly certain that it is clear.

Currently the fridge is not hooked up to 12v, so I don't know if that
is my fist issue in testing it out of the van. Will it light on
propane without being hooked to 12v?

So, with that in mind, I have a few questions.

When I am lighting it, I pump A(far left), hold down B, have C turned
to MAX, D (the rocker switch) set to propane and E set to propane. I
would assume that by holding down B, I am allowing propane into the
chamber which should be lit when I spark A.

What is the small nozzle near the sparker? It looks like it is
attached to the propane by switch B. By holding down B, am I letting
gas through the nozzle which is ignited by the spark? How is the main
pilot light lit (it comes in from the side away from the
sparkercorrect?)? I don't think that any gas gets through if that is
what is supposed to happen. I had it hooked up, held button B and
tried to light it with the pan loosened. I can see a spark. I can't
smell propane at all no matter how long I hold button B. I should be
able to smell it correct?

So in short, I am not sure what I need to do in order to get this to
work. I would love to get it working this weekend, so any tips would
be great!!! It's my main fridge and 110V is not an option. As such, I
am eating a lot of dry goods.

So let me know if you have any suggestions. None of the help I read
referred to what to do if you aren't getting propane.

Thanks!
