Dometic Americana Fridge M# 2652
It's old but works great on electric mode. Used to work great on propane but not so good lately. Great flame, cleaned burner & thermocouple with wire brush. Any ideas ? Thanks

Gator,
Doug's 100% on spot.
A few years ago - my TT stopped cooling on Propane -but worked well on 120.
I put a posting on this site and someone told me to check the baffle (as well as my propane gas pressure).
It was easier at the time (I was camping) to pull the vent (four screws on the top) and cut into the mesh to get to the baffle.
When I removed it, mine was rusted as Doug suggested it might be.
I ran the fridge on AC for the remainder of the trip (painful running the generator that much) and when I got home, I ordered a new baffle, removed the old one, cleaned out the boiler tube (used a bottle brush and some romex wiring taped together) and put the new baffle in and never looked back.
I didn't/don't have a manometer to check the pressure, so the easier solution was to replace the baffle (once I confirmed it was rusted out).
