Sounds like you may either have a plugged jet, or a plugged fuel line.


Start by taking off the top section of copper tubing on the fridge and blow
air through it.  It may be gummed up.  Then take out the jet, and blow
through it.  Should feel air.  If not, soak in alcohol and clean.  It may
take a few attempts.


Also, totally clean out the burner area of all ash, etc.
