Re: Refrigerator problem on propane

Dub,
Do a PROPER burner area tuneup, not a "flat rate job" like blowing it out without disassembling. This requires no parts and only a few, common tools.
It may be something as simple as a flake of rust shorting between the ignitor and burner tube.
Turn off refrigerator.
Light sharp raps on the flue to loosen any rust flakes that are about to fall into the burner area.
Remove the cover over the burner area.
Remove the burner tube and clean it out. If the slots are rusted enough to change the shape of the openings, replace-- not expensive.
Remove and clean the ignitior (sand paper usually needed).
Remove the propane jet and clean in alcohol. Reinstall.
Reinstall burner tube and ignitor and set gap to spec (easy to bend the tip of the ignitior). Make sure the ignitior is over the center of the flame area.
Turn it on before putting the burner area cover back on and observe how far into the "run" cycle you get.
Though I have not looked, I am sure there are U-tube videos of this.
If it still doesn't work, proceed with troubleshooting knowing the basics are covered.
