doug - thanks for all that.
since it's a new fridge do i need to take it back to the dealer where we bought the truck camper or could i go anywhere that does dometic warranty work? getting a little frustrated driving 40 min each way for work that doesn't fix the problem. i don't want to do too much myself for fear of the dealer then saying that i caused the problem. thanks for the help everyone.
First off...........
EVERYTHING DOUG posted is right on the mark!!!!!!
He has over 35 yrs. RV TECH SERVICE
YOUR Dometic fridge cooling unit has been damaged due to the insulation falling down and blocking draft air flow. That has resulted in overheating of cooling unit (as evidenced by high food compartment temps) Overheating cases crystals to form, plate out on inside of tubing causing blockage which cause more overheating more crystals more blockage ......damage is accumulative and permanent.
You need to contact MFG. Representative, Dometic Representative and fight your case for replacement. You will never get satisfactory results with that current fridge.
HERE is Installation Manual.
Print it out so you have a copy to use in your discussions.
Dometic provides the instructions to RV mfg.
RV MFG. are suppose to follow those instructions.....not doing so results in poor fridge cooling. RV mfg. causes....NOT Dometic Fridge
Get ALL parties involved with you ...........!!!!
Good luck. Get that damaged fridge replaced.
