1. I doubt when it IS working you are getting 20 degrees in the refer. RETEST the operation. The ONLY valid temp measurement is the temp of a glass of water after 24 hours. In 38 years as a tech, I have NEVER been able to get an RV refer below 25/26 degrees and that is with the Tstat bypassed.
2. HOW are you measuring the temp? With a glass of water or just laying a Thermometer inside?
3. The Correct temps should be BELOW 10 degrees in the freezer and below 36 to 38 degrees in the refer. LOWER temps in the refer are more common----28 to 32 degrees.
4. How old is the refer and are you the original owner?
5. The correct way to measure the performance of a refer is to run the 120 element direct, bypassing any controls for 24 hours. That will tell you the state of the cooling unit. Doug
