YES, will run cheaper (If you paying for electric)and get colder than AC. Move the thermister down on the fins when on Gas.

On fridge WITH temp settings on upper panel.thermostat is calibrated for temp sensing from thermistor on a specific FIN position
On fridges with "AUTO TEMP CONTROL" (NO temp set points)
Moving it DOWN means warmer
Moving it UP means Cooler
Overall temp effect is 4-6*F
Propane & electric transfer basically same temp to boiler section
Propane does 'start' the process sooner due to hot flame
When I run my fridge on gas it runs colder than when on Electric. On gas I don't need all that cold. I slide the thermister down a little to keep the same temp as electric. I have done the math and it's cheaper to run on gas. I'm seasonal for 4 months and pay for electric. I don't have temp settings. Moving the thermister up and down the fin is the temp sencer. At least that is what the arrow in the side wall says.
