Thank you for the suggestions.
If it helps to narrow things down, yesterday I turned the temperature knob to 0 (click) and then back to 7, the coldest setting. By morning it was at 20°F but by this evening it's back to 50°F.
Forgive my ignorance but which 'element' am I measuring for ohms and amp draw?
At the outlet, I'm getting 121.9V
You need to post what type Thermometer you are using. The ONLY way to test refer temp is to install a 8 oz cup of water on the shelf below the Evap fins and after 24 hours on 7, then test the water temp. NO RV REFER WILL GET TO 20 DEGREES IN THE LOWER SECTION. So, your temp test is suspect. The freezer will get below 10 degrees. What is the temp on LP? Also, in a Pop Up. I assume you have a Lower and upper vent doors on the outside. Pop Ups are notorious for having inadequate venting and baffling for correct Heat removal. This is a OEM caused problem not a refer problem. If the refer gets to that 20 on 120, your 120 system is OK. Ventilation will be your problem to fix. Most Pop Ups the refer has a 12 volt cooling fan on the back side of the refer cooling unit to help move air up and out the upper door. Doug
