Refrigerator flame
When the absorption refrigerator is in the gas mode is the flame always lit or does it go on and off as needed.

- Hi gentlemen. I'm Dave, and I'm always wrong too. It's been 33 years since I was not wrong.

For your fridge...
You should hear the "snick-snick-snick-snick whoosh" when the pilot lights and the fridge starts. It will turn off on its own when it hits the configured temp, and then snick-snick-snick-snick whoosh when it cycles back on again.
(...unless I'm wrong) - I have been married for 40 years so I am used to being wrong and everything is my fault.:)
- Fridge thermostat controls the heating cycles be it AC Element or the GAS Flame
Older models (smaller cabinet/compact) used a gas control that would regulator size of flame based on temp dial setting
Closer to MAX...flame would stay ON - Barney: you were what? The word "wrong" is not in a man's vocabulary!
Correct term is "not right"! - Thanks guys. Now that I think about it more I realize I was wrong.
Barney - Barney...I think with the DSI fridges, there is no longer any flame (pilot), until needed, to spark, light, heat, and shut down. The earlier model fridges used a standing pilot.
Jerry - No, It does not always stay on. DSI is only on while cooling on propane. A pilot light refer, the pilot stays lit.
Make and model of refer involved would be beneficial! - Flame stays on I believe. May be wrong though.
