I’m getting my wish to find out how machines work!! Woke up to find one of the precious gas cylinders was empty, so the fridge was turned off automatically. Unfortunately, the piezo ignition was not sending a spark onto the gas jet. Of course the thermal heating unit in the fridge is right at the back. So began an adventure involving me supine lying using a multi tool spanner – one normally not much use except for bike nuts. The lack of space meant that I could only rotate the bolt about 2mm at a time. To make matters worse the carpet was stinking, as a result of leaking water from the fridge door seal. Managed to finally disconnect the gas pipe from the unit and remove the fridge. Gave the ignition cable a twiddle and the spark was back! Tommy the Fixer! Put the unit back in and attempted to get a good seal on the gas inlet pipe, testing it with soapy water and not with a flaming match!!
Ultimately, don’t know why it stopped working.

Supine lying completing this task is much wiser than prone lying I feel. Laura's nerves must have been put to the test with all this fridge fixing business. I take the obsession with fixing it came from the need to store the beer in a cool place?
More like stopping the meat from rotting into an obscene smell!
I have taken to liking warm beers out of necessity.
Take care.
