Fridge on propane failure

   Having experienced a similar situation last year I had to replace the following after doing the same things you did: replace the regulator and the hose that went from the regulator (downstream) to the metal line.  Upon taking both regulator and hose off I encountered a gooey black substance that was blocking the flow of propane to the gas valve, just upstream from the picture you show.

Hopefully this is your issue.  Mine was on a 2011 177 so a bit older.  By taking the hose and regulator off and turning upside down you will quickly be able to tell if you have this going on as well.

I assume that gas valve (next contraption up the gas line from orifice) can be plugged, but I don't know how likely that is. It is a pain to get to this thing
