I have a 91 Syncro Westie with a Dometic 182C and for whatever its worth I had to replace the piezo (under warranty) even after praying to those same gods. I bought the westie new and had to replace the sparker after about a year. Since then the fridge has worked flawlessly. Good luck and hope you're sparking your propane soon (safely, of course). - Vern
