Trouble with Norcold 390D

Question

I have an old Norcold 12v DC/ 120v AC fridge that is not getting below 45°, It has been doing fine except I sometimes hear it make a moaning sound when running. The last time I took it out it didn't keep anything cold and the freezer compartment didn't keep the food frozen completely. I have looked on line for a troubleshooting guide and can't find one. If anyone can steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I can work on it myself if I could find something to guide me. All the troubleshooting guides I have seen are for propane fridges.
If I replace the unit what is a good model to replace it with?

Thanks Mick

I have several Norcold manuals at http://bryantrv.com/docs.html, but I would look at ventilation- check if there is a condensor fan that isn't working.

On edit- yours should be in this manual- http://bryantrv.com/docs2/docs/ncoldtekII.pdf

Thanks for the link. The fan is working. If I can figure how to remove the fridge I'll start checking from this guide. I can not get it to slide on the tracks I can't see any other place it is attached but there are 3 ventilation plates and I will take those off and look in there.
