Check that the drain from the drip pan is stopped up. This allows warm air to run into the fridge part.
That is true and it don't take much, especially if the drain hose is through the outside lower vent cover and facing forward. That allows the the hose end to act like a small air scoop and warm air enters the fridge.
My old Norcold had the hose terminating in a drip pan attached to the lower boiler assembly which I never liked so I routed it down through the lower cavity and outside. That drip pan was nothing but a dirt collector.
My new Dometic exits through the lower vent and has a perforated plug in the end.
