I've tried everything! I guess the secret is to do >it right the first time! My own wife has decided that in order for the fridge to light, the mark on the pump handle must point to the right. She came to this startling realization after she had struggled hard, then spent an hour re-reading the owners' manual and noticed that in the instructions for shutting down the fridge, it said to turn valve "A" to the closed position, where "A" on the figure is the pump handle. She said she was thrown off by the fact that the controls on the figure all are shown in the closed position, except for "A" which is shown open. I must admit that it never had dawned on me that the pump handle controlled an air vent somewhere, so I had put the above item in the instructions down to writer's error, but she is dead sure that this is the one factor that explains why she succeeded in lighting the refrigerator after 2.5 hours of failure. Respectfully submitted as "one more thing to try". -- / Lars Poulsen Internet E-mail: lars@RNS.COM RNS / Meret Communications Phone: +1-805-562-3158 7402 Hollister Avenue Telefax: +1-805-968-8256 Santa Barbara, CA 93117 Internets: designed and built while you wait
