This might be mentioned in the video, but here's a few things that
have hung me up from time to time:

- fridge coming out or going in; finding correct angle of tilt so
exhaust and intake pipes clear the upper rear portion of cabinetry and
bottom doesn't bind on support ledges.

- lining up and threading the LP connection to fridge. (Once started,
nut should turn by hand. Adjusting angle of pipe a little can help
line threads up. Once nut started, wiggling pipe a little may help nut
turn by hand)

- if manifold got misaligned due the above, lining up manifold so
those two fine threaded screws go in w/o cross threading (be careful
of this. And don't drop one down the intake or exhaust pipe!   ;^)

Pick a nice cool day to do this job.    :)

Neil.
