My '90 fridge piezo was behaving as described above by Frank.  A
couple of weeks ago, I replaced it with a model "679" ignitor, which
costs 1/4 of the one sold by gowesty.  Downsides are that you need to
drill a new pilot hole in the top of the fridge (the replacement unit
is narrower), and you must work a round socket onto a rectangular
pin.  The piezo works perfectly now.

I bought my piezo at rvmobile in everett, washington, but you can
find them online at many places.

Note: this info only applies to 1990-1991 model years.
