We discovered that the cooling fans were not operating. Had never been in this hot of temp before with sun shining like it does in the desert. As ours our impossible to reach in the motorhome, wired a 12v computer fan in the exterior access area. We also put our awning out to help with morning sun ( it gets real windy here so hadn't had it out) and the frig is now operating normally. We had ours on electric and it couldn't keep up prior to doing these 2 things.
Lots of info on the net concerning adding extra forced air cooling to promote air flow across the coils.
I added a second muffin fan to my unit and it helper control the box temps. Like I said previously, my unit shuts down completely at night. Freezer temp stays at -6 and frig temp maintains 40. Don't matter what the ambient temp is or if the sun is beating on the fridge side.
