I feel like those times where you call software tech support and they run you htrough a loop and end up saying it's a hardware problem, whereupon you call the hardware tech support and get the reverse. The refrigerator will startup, run a few minutes to 15 minutes, see a light in the little window n the frig. Then it just goes out. It seems like gas is getting there. I get it up at the stove too.
