Thank you AnEv942. We have closed the gap. With these changes we should be good!
I hope this works. You've all been so great. So much more helpful than "the"professionals". I'll try to find info on manufacturer. It says Dometic. Paperwork/manual states ammonia filled, not helium. How to we find out the contrary?
Don't worry about Hydrogen vs Helium- that has nothing to do with your problem- the main point is that the cooling unit is somewhat non-standard. I've changed a couple, but never really paid attention to the burner/flame fuse orientation.
The only way Dometic would know which unit you have is with the product number, which specifies every option on the refrigerator.
Here is a picture of the Siegen vs Standard Dometic "Caravan 95" cooling unit:
Note the differences, particularly around the burner area.
BTW- if you are curious about how they work, I have an old web page at http://bryantrv.com/reefer.html that tries to explain it.
