There is NO direct connection between freezer and food compartment on an absorption fridge.
Both compartments have their OWN evap coils for cooling.
And I don't care how many FANS you add if RV MFG. screwed up the installation of that Dometic Fridge.
Absorption fridges are about PROPER airflow not just airflow.
That has an installation requirement of 0" (ZERO) sidewall clearances, 0" (ZERO) top clearance, 0" (ZERO) bottom clearance and most importantly 0"/1" (ZERO/ 1" MAX) backwall clearance
If bigger clearances exists then 'dead air' happens.......hot air stays....chimney effect lacking.
And w/o baffles/blocking the airflow will NOT go in/around/thru the necessary areas of cooling unit to remove the heat being released.
Lack of adequate/proper heat removal......LACK OF COOLING EFFECT
Installation Manual---pg. 5 clearance requirements
