Not sure if we are talking about the same make and model fridge, but the Electrolux 3-way fridge in my last van suffered from this and the cause was a blockage (rust flakes) in the mixer tube between the jet and the burner.

You may find that you can access this from the outside vents. I couldn't on mine (a Flair) because I could not access one of the screws that hold on the metal shield, but you may be more lucky on yours with a different layout.

Be careful not to poke anything into the burner jet as a micron or two enlargement increases the flame enormously. I saw the scorch marks left by such an incident on a van a couple of weeks ago, a good job it was quickly spotted and witched off or.......
