Frig in TC ????

Asking questions about our frig in TC. Here is what has happened... we went on northeast trip to Maine and across to Niagara falls. Somewhere along the way frig started getting warm. After returning to Fl we took it in because it was only cooling off to 52 degrees. Domentic said it needed a fan, which it didn't have so they replaced frig and added a fan. This morning we left ST. Augustine and the frig was 34 and bounced around 35, 36, 37. We put sensor in frig so we wouldn't have to open door. Now it's on 42.9. What is normal? It appears to get warmer while on gas. There is no roof vent and it's vented on the side of camper and that was the reason for the purpose of fan to move the air. We also have one of those battery operated fans running in it also. If this normal fine, but if they are supposed to run cooler, then we still have a problem. Thanks again!

My Norcold is super sensitive to ambient temperatures. What has your outside temps been? And what cooling level are you running at? Look at the temp sensor inside your refrig that clips to the cooling fins, see if it is as close to the top of the fins as possibel.

Outside temps mid 80s, level is 4 out of 5, thermistor is 3/4 way up on the fin. Should we raise it higher?

I don't know what is wrong with your friggin TC...but it sounds like the fridge in your TC is acting up.

Keep in mind absorbtion refrigerators only cool to < below ambient.
