Found a part in Refer chamber

[Rrroberts40]

Hello, looking for any ideas where this part belongs. I found this in the outer refer area behind the refer. I have a 2013 Int Sig. 23D...it was laying on the bottom nest to the pilot light and vent pipe unattached to anything. The length is about 1.5 inches...what do you think it is?

Can you see an empty screw hole near the gas burner where this bit has fallen off? I am just guessing but I think it may be a gizmo that prevents the burner flame from being extinguished by drafts when you are underway. Jim

That thought crossed my mind to although I do not see any mark around the screw hole in this part that indicated it was ever mounted...I will go out now and take another look see...thanks

Just took another look and do not see anyplace it could have come from...all things seem to be working fine so am not sure if it didn't just get dropped in by mistake...

Open the top refer outside vent and look at the top of the burner stack. That part slides down into that tube covering the "wire handle" that is attached to the baffle. Does not screw down, the tabs on the part slide down over the wire handle into the tube, covering the wire.

If you google Dometic refrigerator and then find some repair videos on utube, you may see the part. It could also just be a bit left over from construction. I am forever finding bits that have rolled out from someplace during my travels and I put them in a little container waiting for the day when I discover what they are for. Jim

You folks are the bomb...never would have guessed it went there but I did look closely at the area and until the pic I could not have guessed...2 secs and it is back in it's proper home...thanks so much!!
