Fridge temperature depends on ambient
Let's say I have our (Norcold) fridge temperature set on level 5 and the temperature is holding steady. But if the outside temperature goes up or down the fridge temperature does too. If it goes up, I...

This does not make sense, for a correctly operating refer. You set at 5 and lets say that gives you a temp of 38 degrees. REGARDLESS of the outside temp, the refer WILL RUN to keep that temp of 38 degrees. Setting it to a lower (8) will NOT make the refer maintain the 38 degrees faster. Unless you are opening and closing the refer too much, but even so, the temp set of 5 will still maintain 38 degrees. ALL the temp setting does is run the refer until the set temp is reached. I hope you are not like my wife and think that when it is 80 degrees in our house, setting the AC at 65 will cool the house down quicker than setting at 70 degrees:B Changing the set temp on an RV refer will not decrease the time it takes to reach set temp. I will bet you have some sort of digital temp sensor readout? Now, I would replace the Temp Thermister. Cheap to do and a BAD Thermister will still OHM out and test good. Doug
