Yea Doug, I guess it's all in the wording. You did not use the word liar. But using the word Nonsense. To me was just about the same. But please excuse me for saying that? I have spent over $600.00 to get my fridge fixed with no luck.
The first guy told me my fans were no good. Pulled the fridge out and replaced the fans at a cost of $104.00 each not counting installation. $150.00 for installation. It worked good till the weather warmed up. Then he asked me to bring it in so he could watch it for a while. I did so. After a week it never got below 40 inside the fridge. He kept it plugged to shore power. I was informed he needed to replace the cooling unit. As I wanted to use the coach I went in and got it. Let it run on propane all the way back to my house, in the short distance of 25 miles on propane, the fridge dropped to 32 degrees. I took a trip it worked great. As the weather warmed up, and another trip, the fridge went back up above 40 and stayed there. Took it to another place and right off told to replace the thermistor, (I think that's what it's called) don't remember the exact cost. Worked good for a while till the summer really started warming up. As soon as the inside of the coach got about 70 the inside fridge went above 40. Took it another repair shop in Washington state. He said he did some cleaning, adjustments replaced some part sold me a little fan to sit inside the fridge. While it was in his shop sitting there it worked fine.
I got on the road, started home second day out temperature inside went back up above 40. If the temperature stays below 70 inside the coach, fridge works fine. But sometimes here in Texas it gets pretty hot. Like I said I think I have a cool weather refrigerator. So I get real leery when some tells me almost any thing about that fridge. I will say, I know nothing about the darn thing.
From your description, it appears rear ventilation is the problem That is NOT a Norcold defect but the OEM that did not baffle the rear of the cabinet per Norcold instructions. Is this refer in a slide room? Doug
