1. There is NO CYCLE at all in any refer. The refer will run until the tstat is satisfied. If it take 6 hours or 24 hours the refer will run until the temp reaches set temp
2. You CANNOT gauge Air temp in a RV refer for testing. NOT AT ALL.
3. What I use is a USB Temp Logger in a glass of water set in 15 minute increments. While the Logger starts out at a warm refer after 24 hours the refer has reached its MAX cold. I leave the Logger in for 4 to 7 days depending on the customers complaint. When I remove it I can then down load the temp parameters to a spreadsheet and hand it to the customer.
4. The Temp Thermisters in both Norcold and Dometic sense the Metal fin temp. Fin Temp will be 10 degrees COLDER than the interior items in the refer-------you measure 25 degree fin temp then the interior items of the refer will be 35 degrees. Doug
