propane refrig. malfunction [RE-wrenches]

[Brad Bassett]

John,

My experience with Norcold LP fridges (maybe the Explorer is the same) 
is that the flame will only modulate down to a certain point. When the 
ambient temp around the fridge gets low enough, and the flame is fully 
modulated, the inside temp goes down with the outside temp, generally 
freezing the contents in the fridge. Solution is to make the space 
around the fridge warmer.
