I had the little peep-hole plastic thing missing on one of my vans and
the fridge did NOT work. When I took the fridge out, I found that the
little plastic peep-hole thing had melted over the flame hole and that
was the problem.  Worked fine after that without the plastic thing. I
could still see the flame from under the fridge (at night).    Always
good to  take out the fridge for a good cleaning. Maybe your plastic
thing is just laying on the floor back there????

Good luck,  Malcolm S
