Norcold n145 won't cool on propane

So, my fridge pooped out on my last trip. Works great on shore power and on battery, but no good on propane.
I checked the burner, it's nice and clean and burning blue flame as it should. Everything else seems ok, but the danged thing won't cool. Nor the freezer.
Thoughts?
  • It drops down in the flue from the top. On the right side looking at the back. May be able toget to it from the vent if it is a side vent. It hangs from a long flexible wire about 3/4 length of the flue.

    Thanks very much!
    Any idea how I’d access that thing? Where exactly is it? Hard to tell from that diagram.
