When you turn on the stove dials, do you hear the gas escaping?

It actually lights for a minute then slowly stops.

My guess is that you have tripped the tank safety valve. The tank has a safety feature on it that if the pressure drops suddenly that it shuts the gas down to a trickle. If you open the valve to fast it can trigger this. I did this on mine in the spring. The Fridge requires so little gas pressure that it will keep working but the pressure will not build up in the lines to the point were the valve will reset. I had to shut everything down for a couple of hours and when the back-pressure built up in the lines the safety valve opened up again and everything started working again. I was told that if I shut the valve and opened it slowly it would reset as well but I could not make this work. |

That's great. It took me about 4 hours to figure it out when it happened to me in the spring. |
