I had similar problems a few years ago with my 1991 fridge. Everything else was fine but I would have random shut-offs on propane.
I replaced the board and not only did the problems vanish, but in a situation where a strong wind does blow the flame out, the Dinosaur board is smart enough to turn the fridge back on after 30 seconds or so, rather than just shutting down until you manually reset it (usually after being gone from camp for 8 hours)
The fridge also has much cooler and more consistent temperature control than it ever did with the original board. It was highly worth it for me.
