Mine had a plugged propane line, from rust.  The line inside the
refrigerator leading to the burner is steel.  You might check that.
However, mine has died from other causes.  Well, it hasn't died, but will
only drop the temperature about 20 F from ambient, despite frosting of the
refrigerant line behind the cooling fins.  But mine also had a great fall,
so that might have something to do with it.

Like yours, mine lights readily, in fact generally on first try within a
second or so.

I'm probably going to remove mine, after years of successful service.  On a
recent trip I used Yeti coolers, and they held block ice for seven days,
with nearly half the block still left.  Delightfully cold.
