Since it lights by hand and cools, and the flame going out when it reaches your set temperature is normal (the fridge cycles), the problem is the ignition side. With 12.3V at J3/J4 and no clicking, the 61717037 ignition control module is the most likely culprit. It fits the 6162 and it's in stock. Also check the electrode wire for a crack or corrosion before you install it.
