I disagree with the thermocouple itself being faulty , IMO it's the selector switch.
One trick to try without pulling the fridge out is to , whilst holding the gas valve in and the flame is lit to gently turn the selector switch slightly back away from 'gas' and back to gas , if the indicator twitches slightly or starts to move to the green section , then it's definitely grease on the contacts of the switch contacts.

Yes, thermocouple, I suggested that in #4

I would clarify that to say the thermocouple circuit, as often the thermocouple itself is fine, it the electrical contacts, either in the switch that Ian B has written about, or in the valve where the thermocouple's connector is supposed to screw in and seat and make contact.

With this being a possible fault on a gas appliance, get a real professional to service and repair the fridge before something goes wrong and it all ends up in disaster .
