This part refers to the RM182C fridge with electronic ignition board,
only on very late-model Westys.  For the rest, there's a piezo spark
igniter that operates with a click at the bottom of the air pump
stroke (if you shove on it, which I do every stroke).  The button you
hold down is like any gas appliance, it holds the gas valve open
until the thermocouple is hot enough to do the job.  As I recall
(been a while) this one takes a fair while to heat up; but when the
panel LED (panel must be turned on) has gotten as bright as it's
going to it's safe to let go of the button.

Yrs,
