the 'weird thing' about the siht hole is the 'sight angle' .. very poorly designed. the sight angle is much lower than what you'd think it should be. you need to be on your knees in front of the fridge with your nose about 10 inches off the floor to see the blue flame. with your face up near the controls , or that high like you'd normally be.. the sihtt angle is wrong to see the flame. I hate dumb design - just no reason for it really. sometimes I put a piece of blue masking tape on the left wall of the fridge to show what the sight angle is, it's much lower than you expect. Don't know if this applies to your year fridge ..but it does to 84 or so westy's.
