RV refers have no temp adjustment for the freezer. The Freezer will get to its coldest temp regardless of the Lower temp whether an Auto temp refer or a refer with an adjustable tstat control. How old is the refer? Is it possible that the Cooling unit has been changed before? If so, and the incorrect amount of Thermal Mastic was not installed on the freezer coils, it will not transfer the full amount of cold to the freezer. Also, if Norcold did not install the correct amount of Thermal Mastic, the same result. Years ago, on some models(very few, less than a few hundred), Norcold did not install the correct amount of Thermal Mastic. But, the ONLY way to determine that was to pull the refer and the Cooling Unit. Doug
PS, the freezer specs are anything below 10 degrees is correct temp.
This unit has no adjustment other than moving the thermistor. I bought the trailer new last year, so I know it has never been changed.
Sounds like I'm pretty close to what Norcold would call normal operation...
