Refrigerator issues

2014 Dometic 2 compartment freezer/refrigerator. Wont cool below 50 degrees either AC or LP. I f I disconnect the thermistor from the control board it should go into max cooling mode, no?

    I do not know but move the clip holding it as far up the fin as you can. Adding a fan inside may help as well.. I did It helps two ways

    one it circulates the air so the COLD is more even
    Two.. Fins don't frost up as bad with a good set of Fridge fans in there
    (There is a firm or 2 that make fans specificlly to mount on dometic Absorption cooling units)

    Also,, Clean the beast.. Open the outside access panel and the top panel (If in a slide out) or roof cover (If not) using an air compressor and fairly low pressure setting on the regulator BLOW down through the heat exchanger Fins (Looks a bit like a car radiator) blow STRAIGHT down (Be careful on that) see if a bunch of "Crud" gets blown out the bottom (NOTE TURN OFF FIRST Some of that crud.. burns)

    I'll try the blowing out although it looks pretty clean. Also, it's empty so a fan won't do much. I thought maybe an aftermarket thermistor might do the trick?
