You may want to check the gas jet when  you get a chance to take out the
fridge.  A year [ 25 hours of use? ] after  I had reinstalled my fridge
[ temp gauge installation and burn chamber clean out ]

It stopped getting cold [ if it lit...]

So I grudgingly took it all out again

[ takes 1/2 the time the 3rd time round! :O( ]

And found a new-formed carbon wad right on the gas jet

I am not sure if there is such a thing as cruddy propane but

I had no other explanation. - After clean out and reinstall..

Fridge was back to normal.
