Subject:      checking propane leaks
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

1.  My apologies to everyone for continuing to bother you with my
refrigerator saga.  2.  My apologies to everyone for the naivete of my
queries.


So, cleared (I hope) propane  line reinstalled on refrigerator.


To check for leaks on these connections (and other internal refrigerator
connections while it is out), how?


Is this correct?


Connect refrigerator to propane (with external tank or extension hose to
regular connection).  Soap all connections.  Open main or external tank
valve.  Turn refrigerator propane dial to on.  Set refrigerator to operate
on propane.  Turn thermostat to max.  Push safety/start switch.  Observe
connections for bubbles.


Correct, or not?  One concern to me, if push safety/start switch, sparks
from igniter, though inside burner box.  Problem while observing for leaks?
