Hi George,


The procedure for taking apart the chamber is self-evident (5/6 sheet metal
screws). The discovery I made recently is that the actual burner assembly
can be removed and examined. The fine orifice (jet) that the gas comes out
(then travels on down that tube, mixing with air, finally burning via those
slots), was plugged in my friend's fridge that we were troubleshooting. We
cleaned it with a fine brass wire (careful not to damage the jet), and the
fridge lit like it was meant too.
