My fridge cools best on propane maybe because of the amount of heat it
produces, I know you should not operate the fridge on an incline(they say
permanent damage will occur). Maybe you should clean out your flue chamber
and vent linesand completely check your gas system.

I did put additional fans (in and out)  and completely overhauled the
chambers and checked all the gas lines and the electrical. Also cleaned my
propane tank and changed the regulator. My fridge works on all three modes,
but as I said propane mode  seems to be the best.
