RV Frig Question

Hello,
My RV Frig was working great but now the inside sliver grate looking things are developing frost and ice on them. I looked at the directions for the fridg but I don't see a switch to adjust the temp. I don't know if there is a clean somewhere either. My choice is switchs are "on" "off", "auto" ","manual" or a switch which says "climete control on or off"

The frig is a Americana Domestic electric.

Any suggestions welcomed. I love to here from people who are problem solvers. jhelfrich@ymail.com

How long has it been on? If a couple of days, it should not really be frosting up to the point of causing any harm. If it's been on for a week or longer, yes frost will collect and it needs to shut down and defrosted. That's why there is a drain tray under it with a hose that leads outside... 😉

Good luck!

Are you saying I should turn my frig off and defrost it?

RV refrigerators are not frost free or self-defrosting. Particularly in humid conditions, the frost will build up on the cooling fins and require manually defrosting them.

There must be a way to adjust the temperature, go to the manual or call the service.
HERE is a link to the manufacturer.
Good luck .
