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.

Thomas, you may be right but I just had this fridge out back in November before I left on this trip and did a complete service including cleaning the jet. I may take it out in a day or two in the next campground we stop at. I'll let you all know what I find.
