Fridge works great on AC, won't light. I finally get around to removing the cover on the burner and find your old friends inside.

Fortunately, long dead, but they and their mud completely covering the burner.

Rolling Eyes Haven't heard from Robin in awhile. I hope those pesky wasps haven't returned since their move to FL. Laughing

So, cleaned out about a pint of mud dauber mud from the heat stack, a few more wasps, removed and blew out the burner and jet, and guess what? Fridge works perfect. 42 degrees in the main compartment, water froze in the freezer. Take that, wasps!

Ken,
That must be a common problem. Same thing happened to Rick Denney when he changed jobs. Too bad. Both Rick and Robin were interesting and entertaining.
