There is NO WAY a RV refer will get to -10 degrees. -10 would be 10 degrees BELOW 0. WILL NEVER HAPPEN. YES, a BAD cooling unit will freeze water to ice. Freezing is 32 degrees and below. This type problem is common when a seller is selling his RV with a BAD refer. They show a cup of water frozen in the freezer, but it is NOT at 10 degrees or below. The buyer thinks the refer is OK but in reality it is a bad cooling unit. I use a standard digital thermometer laying in the freezer to get the correct temp of the freezer and then a same type thermometer in the glass of water in the lower refer to get THAT temp. So, when dry camping make sure the refer vents are on the backside of the daily sun. Doug
PS, depending on your answers, your cooling unit appears to be fine
