Re: refridgerator won't cool with propane by Tony
Post New Message Plugged flue. remove the cover from the burner area than gain access to the top of the flue and run a small brush, like a bottle brush down thru it. Then vacuum up all the crud that comes out and falls around the burner.

I have a 1970 Morphy Richards Astral model refridgerator. It works great on 120v. When I switch to propane I have a blue flame burning but it doesn't cool.

If the flu is ok blow out the orfice for the burner (Spider webs) It should be a strong flame, you should be-able to hear it! If not after cleaning the above items, I would say your thremostat has failed and the flame is only running at idle.
