Hi all,
Thanks for the replies.
Cool mom 42. There are 2 shut offs so I can isolate the propane line before the fridge and just before the valve/thermostat assembly. There is no detectable leak until the fridge is running.
Old biscuit- the fridge is a Consul 2624 I believe , I will check when closer to my wife’s phone. Made in Brazil. It’s a very old fridge , 80s at the newest.
Chris. No zip tube if I understand correctly. There is a gas line in to the valve/theromostat assembly and one going out to the burner. As for the knob, yes. In the 12 o’clock position there’s no gas, whether depressed or not. If I turn it CC to the 9 o clock position and depress the button I hear gas flowing, and the ignition will get the fire going. I’m wondering if this 9 o’clock position is a bypass for lighting the flame , and then the knob should go back to the 12 o’clock position? Not sure.
