I followed Frank Condelli's fridge maintenance instructions here:

http://www.frankcondelli.com/fridge.htm

I also installed one of GoWesty's air pump upgrade kits. Between the
two my fridge lights on propane quickly each and every time.

I installed the larger exterior fridge fan from GW as well.

I also replaced all of the fiberglass with pink foam insulation, and
replaced all the outside hookup fixtures (the black plastic ones) with
new ones.

Other people have commented on replacing the city water hookup with
another fan to aid in airflow, and have said they get even better
fridge temps with it. Others also install an interior fridge fan
(small CPU fan of some sort).

Just some ideas ...
Luke
