Norcold N306 won't get cold enough on gas

Hi,
My 2017 Norcold N306 (serial 24760410) all of a sudden, won't get as cold as it should on propane no matter the temp outside (it cools fine on electric no matter the temp outside). Also the flame meter does not work even though the burner lights and stays on.
Please share your thoughts on what I can look for or replace.

    This and you need to check the LP pressure. Any deviation BELOW 11.5 inches W/C pressure will degrade performance on LP. Doug

    Ditto. And don’t judge the flame by how it looks. It’s such a small flame that it can easily fool you. BTDT. You need to measure the pressure with a manometer. There are inexpensive digital ones available on Amazon.
