Gotta do some more work and diagnosis before throwing it out and calling it toast.
You didn’t say whether the pilot light is working and you haven’t attempted to clean the burner out. Start there.

Rookiehookie,

I expect the cooling unit is toast.


the boiling unit is still working, I can feel that is warm and by the part the flame is, it's even hot.

are the boiling unit and the cooling unit separate from each other, meaning the one can still work (boiling unit) and the other not (cooling unit)?


The tube may be blocked. Some times the blockage may be shifted by taking the fridge out and "rolling it". This is a "hail mary" attempt to get it to work. How long will it work? 5 minutes or 5 days?

It is a sealed unit. Replacement is the only true fix. Consider moving to a 120 volt cooling unit.

So, new fridge, more $$ and a big ole electrical upgrade, batteries, solar, inverter, etc plus all the wiring and install cost since he don’t sound like a diy guy….
Yeah that makes almost no sense in his case, practically or financially.
