Is it windy? The fridge flame isn't that strong and can get blown out from time to time.

(Not like the rocket that the water heater and furnace are LOL.)

You may want to stop by an RV shop or propane dealer and have them search with a sniffer which can pinpoint a leak in a NY second. If you are still under warranty, maybe a dealer will get you in right away if you tell them you have a gas leak.

Glad you found the problem. Sometimes it's those simple things that bite us.

May want to check all the connections also, many of my lp & water connections were not snugged up, maybe it was late & they got weak.
