I just had the same problem. If your fridge works on AC then the refrigeration part is working. Are you sure the flame is staying lit the whole time?
My issue was that the gas would ignite, but shut off before the fridge cooled sufficiently. Then when it would try to re-light, it wouldn't light, and the check light would come on, and it wouldn't try again.
Turned out the control board wasn't working properly. A new $100 Dinosaur board fixed it. Not only does it work a lot better, the new board is smart enough to wait 30 minutes and try to relight if it doesn't work the first time.
My fridge was a lot older than 4 years, but it might be the problem.
