I have a Norcold N8X fridge in my 2019 entegra odyssey 24b and fridge was working fine until couple days ago when we move to new place (100 miles) and it completely stopped working. the freezer is like 60 degree and cooler is 73 degree when outside is 90..

I checked manual and bunch of youtube videos, thermistor is fine, leveling is good, no blockage on top ventilation fan, no yellow residue coming out, no strong ammonia smell and wires look good to me.

I started to thinking about maybe cooling unit is bad and I found one suspicious place and please see the pic below:
where the boiler and top right of the coil is hot and especially the top right coil (number 2 on the graph) is extremely hot but after that it all of sudden became cold and when it close to condenser it is basically room temperature and rest of coil is room temperature. so it make me wonder if there is serious blockage at the top right corner and only way to fix it is to replace cooling unit.

Trying to figure out if thats cooling unit problem or if there is anything else I could do to fix it... considering how expensive is it to replace the cooling unit, any help would be really appreciated!! Thank you!!
 
Attach picture here.. where the red cycle is hot and blue is cold. number 2 circle is extremely hot.

I just signed up for this site and have exactly the same problem with the same model and location of "blockage". Did you get it resolved. Im assuming I need a new cooling unit and planning on just going 12v.
