Fred, I've experienced the popping fridge problem, also. I've been told it is too much air, too little gas. Since the Dometic unit is a temperamental one, I often go through numerous attempts to light the thing, and make the thing pop in doing so. I vary the gas volume, and the number of times I pump, hoping for that one best combination. If you peer into the pilot light hole in the interior corner when igniting, you'll see a yellow flash occur and hear a pop when there is too much oxygen. Cut back the pumping, ignite the excess gas, and start over. Eventually, it will light. Also, my LED is slow to glow, so there have been times when I had it lit, but kept pumping/igniting in ignorance. Now, I'm patient, and I haven't blown up yet. kgg
