Now to the burner not firing, not sure how familiar you are with the gas fridge, but it takes a good while to purge air out of the lines to get gas up to the fridge gas valve. It might take several cycles of trial for ignition to get gas to the burner to light. The controls will shut down on safety after 3 attempts and no firing feed back, then the fault light comes on. To reset, shut off the fridge, and turn it back on gas and it will give 3 more tries.
There is a small slot screw looking on/off gas valve before the gas valve that could be on your fridge. Make sure the valve is open. The slot horizontal is on.
You bring up a good point with air in the propane line.
The easiest way to purge air from the propane line is to use one of the stove top burners. I use a long reach butane lighter, open one of the front burner valves with the butane lighter lit. It can take a minute or two before the air is purged enough to start getting a flame at the burner.
Once you have a good blue flame without the need for the lighter you can turn off the stove burner and then attempt to run furnace, fridge or water heater.
Purging the line at the stove should cut down the remaining propane line distance enough that the other appliances should light with one or two tries.
