I turned off the fans and let the ref turn them on when it wanted to. The ref ran for 3 days on electric ok. So I guess it just takes a long time for ref to get going and it cools faster on propane.
Never thought of starting the refer on gas. I know the HW works faster on gas but always just use electric for both. Will begin starting the fridge on gas and changing over to electric after it cools. Never in a big hurry for HW when we set up.
