Well, if you have no spark, then start there. No spark = no flame. No flame = no work.
Try a long grill lighter and see if you can hold a lighter flame under the thermocouple where the flame should be (the fridge should be on the gas setting and set to run). I would not think you need to hold in the button since you are lighting it yourself like this.
The propane unit has a sensor (thermocouple) that senses heat (flame) and will shut off gas flow if there is no flame/heat. The "push button in while lighting" is the over-ride for this.
