Fridge won't stay lit on LP

[Tim Hannink]

It sounds like the thermocoupler - the copper bulb located next to
the flame of the pilot light has stopped working. The one on my home
water heater crapped out the other day and I had to have a cold
shower this morning, the repair guy (me) should be able to fix it
this weekend.

It should be a pretty easy fix if you can get it off and to an
appliance parts store to find a match for it. It also should be easy
to test, it should read normally open with a multimeter at room
temperature and should close when heated with a flame.

Good luck,
