Propane refrigerator not cooling - ForrU2Cry - 09-20-2008

We have a propane refrigerator and it will not cool or freeze the refrigerator. The pilot works great and there is no carbon built up because it has been cleaned. Any sggestions on how to get the refrigerator to cool again?

Here's from my hubby who was in the HVAC biz for many years:

First, disconnect the fridge from the propane and let it cool down. Unplug if you have a 12-volt plug as well.
Turn the whole fridge upside down and wait until all the bubbling sounds stop. Turn it rightside up again and wait for all the bubbling to stop again.
Then plug it back in and it should work.
