I found that the spark is not there where it should be. It usually is between the sensor and the Piezo wire. Not very good because that is too far for the gas. But it will ignite all the gas that accumulates in the chamber and it will have a little explosion in there. But no fire. Now, I put the wire closer to the flute, above the gas openings and it lights every time the first time. And while I'm with it, I blow every pipe and cavity out with compressed air and clean the back of the fridge and the area well. If any of you want this to be done in the greater Seattle area, I can help.

Hey guys, someone mentioned they were having similar issues to mine about a week ago.. My fridge keeps blowing out, hard starts sometimes and some back firing.. I had it out and did the valve upgrade.. It seems to me like the fridge in my 84 worked better on propane then this one in my 87.. Any sugestions?? Thank you, Jay Lefstein Sent from my mobile device.=
