Your fridge flame does not change size/intensity......flame comes ON goes OFF based on cooling needs. Length of time flame is ON is determined by t-stat setting/temps.
When you say gas pressure is 'good'.......was it measured or just assume it good because other gas appliances work (stove burners, water heater etc.)??
Gas pressure needs to be 11" WC measured at fridge gas valve with at least 50% other gas appliances in service.
With fridge t-stat set to 9 check flame condition/color
- The flame should be a darker blue inside and a lighter blue outside and should be a constant and steady shape.
- The flame should not be yellow and should not have an erratic and unstable shape.
- Make sure the flame does not touch the inside of the flue tube
How long do you run it on gas before you figure it isn't cooling?
Have you checked the 'diagnostic mode' screen
