It sounds like your refrigerator is working properly. You don't mention any cooling problems or issues with the refrigerator maintaining the correct freezer/refrigerator temperatures. The gas burner does not burn 24/7 and there is no "constant pilot flame", but only burns when heat is required to operate the absorption system. So, when heat is required, the control system will open the gas valve, the DSI "sparker" will ignite the flame and "heating the coolant" will begin. Once there is no demand for cooling, the propane system will stop functioning until the next time the refrigerator control system calls for heat in the chimney.
My refrigerator, on a typical 80F day, will cycle on for about 30 minutes, then off for about 2 hours. Of course, opening the refrigerator door or higher ambient temperatures will alter that cycle, and the gas flame will be on much longer and more frequently.
