Refrigerator not as cold on gas
SHane,

This is a strange symptom as propane is usually the best source of
heat., but I would check the propane gas pressure and regulator.
If you have the old single stage regulator , it may be better to
change
to the later two stage regulator. The Refrig mfg once had different
size gas orfices for higher altitudes and different ambient
tempertures.
But I do not know if is still available, the size was stamped on the
brass orfice casting.
