Cooling unit is functioning hence the cold freezer/food compartment using electric
Freezer only cold/food compartment not using propane.....that is because the propane is not transferring enough heat to boiler to change liquid ammonia into ENOUGH vapor that can be condensed into cold liquid to absorb heat from freezer AND food compartment
Propane system pressure...first thing to MEASURE
Hard to visually check if it is sufficient or not
11"WC is 0.4psi
9"WC is 0.32psi
0.08 psi difference...can't visually see that
2nd check.....burner flame
Strong steady and reaching up into open bottom of flue
(burner slots fully open)
Then you pull flue baffle/clean it up (soot/rust) and clean flue walls
