Default Fridge on propane... I just don't know...

2005, new to us 3124KB - Fridge won't stay lit on propane... multiple discussions here in the forum about it, but my question is how can I tell if the bulletin/not really a recall was done with the red & blue wires? I pulled the fridge forward but I can't tell if anything was done... is there a clue or something like writing on the wires or? The wires inside were still taped and I had hard time getting the tape off... I removed and put back on the red & blue wires and pushed all the other wires in... Hard to believe the PO never used it with propane, but who knows?!
I don't know if red/blue wires are the problem or if I have a completely different issue going on... Thoughts?
Thanks!
Sandy

As I recall, the problem was simply that the mating connector on the wire did not properly grip the other half of the connector - the flat spade/tongue. Easy way to deal with it is simply to pull off one wire at a time, squeeze the loops in the connector a bit, and push them back on. It should require firm, but not impossible, pressure to push the connector together.

Bill saves the day! That did the trick. Thanks for the help!

PS: By looking into the furnace issue, I did notice one thing that helped with the fridge issue... I knew those red/blue wires on the fridge had not been changed because the furnace wires are wrapped in the same manner and with the same material tape as the fridge bundle is.
