Your fridge does NOT have a thermocouple
It uses a spark electrode which provides a high voltage spark to ignite the main propane flame AND is used for the 'flame proving' signal
Propane valved out ....regulator has to have a demand placed on it and establish flow...system is 11" WC which is only 0.4 psi (you can whistle stronger then that)
The propane system then has to have flow/pressure throughout all lines to the different appliances----the water heater, the furnace and the fridge use a 'flame proving' signal.
W/O it the circuit board shuts down the DC to gas valve so raw fuel does not accumulate
Lighting off stove top burners on high help place demand on LP regulator and help establish flow.
The other appliances will need a few attempts to establish flow up to/thru gas valves.
Afterwards propane is AT the gas valves ready to be ignited
Until system is valved out...then repeat process for demand/flow.
