1. Control Boards NEVER cause cooling performance problems
2. As another poster stated, a 4 door refer in a slide room requires that a extra upper 12 volt fan be installed to force the hot air out the top door.
3. ALL your parameters you tested are to spec. The only thing you have NOT stated is HOW you test the interior temp. The ONLY valid way is a glass of water after 24 hours
4. The FIN temp will be 10 degrees colder than the interior temp----26 degree fins 36 degree interior temp
5. Moving the Thermister does NOTHING for a adjustable refer tstat.
6. 120 volt voltage can make a difference on performance. BELOW 115 volts will impact Heat element performance. ALWAYS use LP for 24 hours to verify performance of the refer if Line voltage is low or suspect. Doug
