I thought I should update this in case someone has a similar issue.
After giving some serious thought and staring at the fridge for a while I determined that the flame size/intensity had to be the issue. The baffle and flue were crazy clean and the flame was burning so that had to be it. So I cleaned the jet again. This time I let it soak for hours in alcohol. Last time was about an hour. Well, it worked. I just got back from a 3 day road trip and the fridge has never worked better. It was even cycling on propane. So, if you have a fridge on propane that has a flame but just can't keep the temps down, check your propane pressure and then clean the heck out of the jet.
I never soak a orifice. I ALWAYS blow out with compressed air and in 37 years have never failed to get the orifice opened up. Doug
When I looked into how to clean the orifice I saw several places that said to soak it in some kind of solvent/cleaner. I even saw where it said to NOT use compressed air as that can dislodge the ruby and just let it air dry. Anyways, maybe I'll try your method in the future if I have a repeat of this issue. It sure would be faster than waiting for the soaking to do its thing.
