my fridge is no where near vented per these instructions.
I have a side vent and a top vent, and there are no baffles directing the airflow; there's a big gaping opening at the top below the vent, no side baffles.
It's like it's hanging in space. I've had trouble cooling it on LP this year; was going to change the burner but now it looks like it's burning bright blue, no flicker. I'll try to get the pressure checked to make sure it's at 11. What are the ramifications of no baffles? Is it just poor cooling in hot weather?

I'm setup like this
Does everyone else's fridge have the right baffles? Is this a Norcold specific thing? I did tape off the top vent, it's lower than they should be and I assumed it was not creating the chimney effect. Last year (and i think previous years/owners based on the remote temp sensor that was installed) it just had to be set all the way cold to work and didn't work as well when it was hot.
Two weekends ago when it wasn't hot out the freezer let my ice cream sandwiches get soft. It works fine on electric. If that's the case does that mean I don't have to worry about the baffles as much and just focus on the LP pressure?
thanks, haven't asked any questions in awhile
