Saw this today (fire)
We're out camping at the moment. I saw this at the campground and remembered all the discussion around refrigerator fires:

Yes, I have seen that type fire, BUT NOBODY on this forum knows what caused it. It may have been a failed cooling unit. But, the odds are it may have been an LP leak at the refer. It could have been a insect/animal nest at the burner area that caught fire. If the burner flue is not clean, the flame can billow out at the burner area and catch something on fire. Doug
WRONG ANSWER ----I have PERSONALLY spoken with owners whose rigs were either slightly damaged---or DESTROYED by fridge FAILURES -----NOT GAS LEAK caused.
I also have been to the VERY EXPERENCIED AMISH tech - owner at the Ref. Repair place in Shipshawana ..National Refridgeration. I am pretty sure is the name ......Anyway.....he has seen numerous cases of Fires caused by FAILURE of the cooling unit.
Feel free to look up his shop...and call him if you dont believe it is a fact this happens.
