Have you tried running it on 120 vac to see if it cools properly?

X2 trying it on 120-volt AC to see if it cools then.

Several questions:
1. Is the freezer cold, just not the refigerator section?
2. Are you level?
3. Has it worked properly before?
4. When on propane, have you checked outside and inspected the actual flame? There likely is an inspection port to view the flame, it should be bright blue with just a touch of yellow at the tips.

Hate to tell you this, but these are the same symptoms we had after operating our fridge off-level overnight. We were total newbs with our very first trailer and had no idea you shouldn't operate a fridge off-level. We backed our trailer into the driveway (which has a distinct downward slope) to unload it. Forgot to turn off the fridge. The next morning, cold freezer, warm fridge. If this, indeed, is the situation with your fridge, your only option is a rebuilt rear coil assembly for about 60% of the cost of a new fridge (less if you install the assembly DIY), or a new fridge.
