Bottom line is, once you light the fridge, it should remain lit until:
1. you turn it off
2. you run out of propane
3. it malfunctions
Sounds like you have encountered situation number 3.
Quite likely there is not enough electric power from the thermocouple to keep the gas valve open. Once that valve closes you lose the flame.
There are several different things that could be causing this:
1. wiring or connection problem
2. weak thermocouple
3. bad gas valve
there may be other causes that I can not think of.
