Okay, so i've determined that the fridge only goes into "Pilot Mode" when the valve is turned all the way to "MIN". Literally, all the way. So if between Min and Max it's not in pilot mode, but the flame size doesn't change, whats the difference between these settings? The fridge only blows out when it's past the word "MAX" and turned all the way to the stopping position at about 3 oclock. If it's pointed at "MAX" at 12 Oclock, it seems to stay lit. So what's the difference between these cooling settings? And what's the magic trick to getting the door to close and seal with an astonishing "WOOSH". My bottom left corner of the door is constantly looser than the rest and no amount of 'adjusting' the position of the fridge will fix it.
