So did it make the exhaust leak into the intake or something? Just curious how that caused the problem, or if that's the kind of "leak" you are talking about. That reminds me that one of the captions on that flickr site I mentioned earlier says it won't stay lit if the burn box seals aren't good. On the earlier fridge it's a big one piece gasket thing that kind of bends around and serves on two sides of the box (iirc). The newer fridge has two, one around the top and one on the side. (Although I'm not sure Craig's is one of the ones on that site, btw). mike |
