Since when could gas cool something anyway?
Broadly speaking, two ways:
a: using it to directly power a compressor the same
way it can run a car or generator
and
b: through that whole "ammonia cycle" deal which, while
I've seen it in operation, makes my head hurt.

Cabins & cottages in remote locations have used propane
burning fridges for decades.

And Amish with refridgeration? That would be against their rules surely?

Not hardly. What the Amish discourage is direct connections to the outside.
Keep in mind that Amish tend to be farmers, and tend to do a lot of dairy. So, in order to sell their product, they must comply with safety rules applicable to all farm products. They will use on-site generators for power, Absorption chillers (propane-fired) for cooling, and stationary engines to run fans and other devices via belts or pulleys.
https://amishamerica.com/do-amish-use-electricity/ Some of their farms are incredibly sophisticated in terms of energy use, between turbines, solar panels, even, in some cases, hydropower.
Note also: Amish may use a (Cell) Phone, but may not dial one. And they may ride in a IC vehicle, but may not drive one.

I thought it was any machinery. As in a combine harvester, a car, etc. Refridgeration is machinery.
Like they say, it's complicated. There isn't an Amish pope so each colony
That's illogical and sounds like cheating, like a Jew I know who sets timers for Sunday so he doesn't have to go to the trouble and energy of pushing that really heavy lightswitch.
So this refridgeration is ok as long as they hire a non-Amish bloke to press the power button? I'd love to have that job....
I don't follow your reasoning.

zippers, they are non-violent, use long-guns, but not hand guns, and much more.

Another blissful person! The Amish way of life is not based on the Bible, but on their history of persecution before they left Switzerland and later, Germany. There are many peculiarities within the religion - for instance, they eschew buttons and

I would think most of the Old Testament laws - dietary restrictions, clothing restrictions, circumcision, etc. - are exactly the same. The purpose is simply to maintain a separate identity.
Mind you, not sure why so many short-cocked men still exist. The internet says the average is a pathetic 6 inches. If I had 6 inches, it would fall out whenever I drew back a bit.
