Fridge Not Cold On Gas

Hi all, I'm back. My dometic 3804 doesn't cool on gas but works fine on ac. I was told the only thing it could be was the chimney. Well, I removed the fridge and the baffle is indeed in there, and the chimney is clear, with very light surface rust. The baffle has light rust also, which was expected, but solid, idk if it should even be replaced, anyone know a good source? So where else should I check, I thought it was the board, but was told no.. Any other ideas? Btw pilot is fine and stays lit, Wic pressure is good, burner and orifice clean.

    You want help. HOW DID YOU DETERMINE YOUR LP PRESSURE? Why can't posters answer simple questions? I am one of the BEST resource's you can get on this forum. ANSWER my question. Doug
  • X2 lets see it works on electric that says its getting hot enough ,won,t work on gas even with flame but not getting hot enough, burner is clogged not letting enough gas threw .or wrong pressure. still sounds like clogged orfice,s.

    I'd go with Doug's ideas. He's got more experience than many more who may post.

    Your flame probably isn't as hot as it should be, for one of many reasons.
  • First, It is NOT the only thing you were told. What you were told is almost the LAST thing that causes it. HOW do you know the LP pressure is at spec????? Very few people have a manometer, especially someone that goes to the Internet for help. Also, there is NO pilot flame. JUST a standard flame. And NO, a control board would never be the cause if the flame stays ON and you do not get a check light. Doug
