Magic Chef refrigerator cooling issues

Question

I have a 2025 Forest River Signature Series 8339FK. It has a Magic Chef fridge model # MCDCR18FBG. It has french doors and a drawer freezer on the bottom. &nbsp;The fridge tends to wander between its set temp of 36 degrees to 48 to 54 degrees even when the door is not opened for periods of time. &nbsp;It may stay at this temp for several hours and then go back down fairly quickly to set temp. The freezer is set at -3 degrees and that tends to go up to 9 to 14 above on occasion. &nbsp;It tends to do what it wants. Anyone been having similar issues where you could provide some tips and tricks? &nbsp;Thank you.

Could be a bad thermistor or poor ventilation behind the unit. If it's under warranty I would let the dealer handle it.&nbsp;

How's the airflow and consistent power supply?

Seems like plenty of airflow from the floor up to fridge. &nbsp; There is also a porthole outside the fridge to get to the ice maker water line. The inconsistency in temp was noticeable after towing it for 7 or so hours. &nbsp;It was running from my truck electricity to the batteries to run the fridge. &nbsp;Then the temp went up again after 3 days camping plugged into 50 amp.

Agree! Doing anything might cancel warranty on fridge.&nbsp;
