I once converted a small fridge from electric to gas.
My grandfather had a small electric that I simply converted with a small flame and controller* for my log cabin.
Worked fine for years.
Rather than a compressor some actually use heat to make the cooling circuit work.
The old Servell units worked that way and some smaller units simply used a tubular heating element in lieu of a gas pilot.
* purchased the 'guts' from a RV supplier.
