Did the fridge work properly on propane before?

Once its lit, use a cardboard tube to view the flame at the viewfinder
in LH lower corner inside the fridge. Let the fridge cool down for an
hour or so then while looking at the flame, turn the thermostat up and
down. As you do, you should hear a "click" and the size of flame (or
brightness in viewer I guess) should change with that "click". Bigger
flame when more cooling required, smaller when not. (thermostat turned
down)
