Does it have difficulty getting to 40F or does it get to 40F no problem but doesn't want to go lower?
40F is generally the recommended fridge temp, so it may be the thermostat limiting is set to 40F.
Of course those are hot conditions and if you are opening the door to check, absorption fridges don't recover as quickly after you let warm air in.
The freezer is a little warmer than the recommended 0F but other than ice cream not being rock hard, shouldn't be a major issue.
It seems to maintain between 39-41 but has run at 34-37. I have a triple fin fan unit in it now. The USDA says 40 is a max temp for safe food storage.
We keep our drinks in a 12v 54qt compressor freezer/fridge and our small fridge in our outdoor kitchen. This limits getting into the big fridge to meal times twice a day.
