I've had that happen when the propane has been off - and I didn't purge air from the lines... The fridge 'times out' trying to ignite.
I've gotten in the habit now of lighting at least one burner on the stove after turning on the propane. Gets gas much closer to the fridge and haven't seen that happen again.

I have used a small battery operated fan in fridge... was more to balance the temp in the fridge - it had definite warmer/colder areas. The air just seemed to even things out a bit.
Mine is 2 D cells - but I like the 12v version dcbenny just posted in another thread... the 100 page Hurricane mods thread I think.
