Subject:Fridge Don't Fire Up...
From:Carl Cobb

I am sure this is an unique issue never before addressed in this forum.
Having said that I need Help!  I got the little camper manual out for the 87
westie syncro and set all the buttons on the console of the fridge/stove
westie appliance to propane for the fridge.  I then pumped it up and held
that damn little button down; did this many times and never got it to fire
up.

The stove works fine.

Suggestion?

Regards,

Carl
