Question Not cold enough ?

[MsNevada]

My Norcold Refregator is reading 40* and higher. (The Freezer works great. ) It's on the highest temp. we have checked everything in back of it, everything is working right.

what more should I do? its on a slid out. I don't want to take it in to the dealer. they will keep it and I won't be able to finish my summer camping. should I install a fan on the top vent?

On our Forester we had I installed two computer fans on the intake vent blowing inward. That gave more air flow going over the coils and out the top.

Had them wired so I could just unplug when not using the coach.

It did help the performance of ours.

I used these in the 120mm size

Where in the fridge are you measuring the temperature? Mine is 40* on hot days 85*, but fruit on the top shelf partially freezes. My thermometer is on the fridge wall, very close to the top (tried to get it out of the way. Mine is residential.

On the previous rig, the behavior was the same. I installed a fan in the vent compartment. That helped a bit. The dealer said, the best you get in the fridge section is 38*F.

Try measuring the temp on the shelf where the food is.

On the top shelf of fridge there's a wire with a metal clip
attached to it clipped on the metal fin on the right side, slide it up a little, up cools it down warms it make sure your drain isn't plugged the hose under the cover outside behind your frig. Actually 40 degrees is ok for the frig. Good luck

Placement of the temperature sensor is critical on the fridge cooling. If it is too close to the freezer it can get a false reading. Also the fridge could be failing. You may want to open the exterior panel and see if you notice any yellow discoloration on the tubes or cooling systems.
