Older Norcold fridge issue

Also, I see you live in Az. and the temps have been very hot there lately. My Norcold will get up to 50 in 90 degree weather but cool into the 40's overnight when the temps drop into the 70's. How long did you keep the refer plugged in? Do you have any food inside it or is it empty? In 100 degree weather any Absorbtion refer is going to struggle in those temps. Just opening the door to check it will let warm air in especially if there is no food in there to keep things cool. Before you spend money on a new one I would keep it plugged in for several days and if the fridge is empty put a thermometer in a glass of water and check the temps that way.

We were at 7,000+ elevation, with afternoon temps in the mid-80s and morning lows in the low 60s. It was working just fine about 3 months ago, when the kids went camping with another couple. It was plugged in and on max for 48 hours before loading, also with ice packs to help it cool. All food was pre-cooled before loading. Fridge was at 38-40 before leaving for the campout and ended up in the 50s by the time they left. They were using freezer packs, that were freezing nicely in the freezer, to supplement the fridge.
