Curious - what's the deal with heated door seals? Can you possibly turn them off somehow or would that be a bad idea in warm weather? Ours is quite warm to the touch and not only must be energy inefficient, must make it a bit harder for the fridge to stay cool inside. I've never had any kind of a fridge with a door seal that is so warm to the touch. Not sure if this is common on RV fridges or not.
I think the newer fridges are using the door seal heaters instead of a defrost cycle. There have been some posts about members interrupting the door heaters with a switch. IIRC, the heater circuit is present in the control switch location (maybe powered from that location?).
