Freezer to cold

DW taught me long ago to tightly seal and remove air from any bags going into the refer. Grocery meats in those nice see through containers have a lot of air waiting to freeze. The containers don't make it into our freezer.

Most RV/absorption refrigerators have the thermostat in the refrigerator only.

And, yes if you have a question about temperature in either refrigerator or freezer, put a thermometer in and verify actual temperature.

True...

If you want your freezer compartment get colder leave the fridge door open for a while.. Opening it and getting a cold beer every hr will further cool the freezer compartment.

I have dual wireless temp transmitters to monitor fridge temps House and Rig.



They work like a champ...

Those wireless thermometers are great. Ordered a set from Amazon. Didn't work. Sent back no hassle and fortunately decided to order replacements. This set is faultless. It's good to re-set the High/Low feature once the fridge has cooled down.

So far, bought 5 sets, 2 for us and 3 for christmas presents.. They all still work.
Found that the tab for the + battery lead can be just a little shy of making good contact. Found that on one transmitter.

I keep a log of fridge temps along with all aspects of solar charging/amp hours/battery voltages etc.... I reset my fridge thermometers daily for hi/lo. A great feature!

Now that you have a thermometer as everyone told you you need, the temperature in your freezer should be very close to Zero°F and the temperature in the fridge should be between 33°F and 38°F.

BTW - Milk will stay fresh for about 6 weeks when stored at 33°F.

Yup. Use these, also.

But if you are having to defrost the freezer every week, there just might be a problem, will post a thermometer report.tks

Having to defrost freezer is a different issue than your original post about icing of food in storage bags.

Excessive frost build up is due to opening freezer door frequently and window shopping OR the door seals are leaking allowing warm air to be pulled in.

The freezer CANNOT get too cold. The normal range of a freezer is 10 degrees to -10 degrees. The temp sensor on ALL RV absorbsion refers regulates the regular refer NOT the freezer and there is NO temp adjustment on a RV freezer. Doug

X2. a perceived problem of temps too cold on an absorption fridge is pure folly.
