You have an adjustable temp control on that fridge (it's on setting 5) so moving the thermistor (clipped to fin in food section) will NOT help cool your fridge down.
Moving the thermistor affects cooling cycle on fridges that DO NOT have an adjustable temp control.
So put the thermistor back in mid position.
Change your adjustable temp setting to 9.
Also with fridge in a slide out.......air flow across the backside of fridge is critical. Do you have fans in outside compartment? If so..are they running?
If not......you need to install a couple of fans on cooling unit below the upper vent so they pull air in and up across cooling unit and exhaust out top vent.
Proper clearances are critical to allowing for proper air flow.
If clearances between back of fridge and sidewall of rv are too large air flow gets disrupted. Need to have tight clearances at top of fridge where air flows out of upper vent.
Wouldn't be the first time that mfg. installed fridge wrong.....causing on going cooling issues.
AND your RV is LEVEL..correct. Off level operation will kill a fridge cooling unit. Damage from off level is accumulative and permanent
Propane vs electric..........no difference. BTUs actually used for the cooling process is about the same.
Which model of fridge?
