My Dometic fridge is same as you described, no lights when on propane only. We spend most of our time RVing off of the power grid thus we just set fridge to propane, plus it tends to cool better in that mode. Fin temp control can be replaced with a dial type temp control, freezing up of fridge may indicate fin temp control has failed or possibly fallen off allowing for constant cooling to occur.
We have had both brands of RV fridges, they cool pretty much the same. What's paramount is that they are properly installed, many RV builders do a poor job not allowing for enough ventilation on the rear of the unit. Many turn to residential fridges primarily do to poor performance, anything to assist air movement for proper airflow behind fridge would indeed enhance cooling prowess of the unit.
Yes, that's exactly what happened. I sent the link to this thread to my bud, he said the white thing musta fallen off the fin, he didn't know where it was sposed to go. (he just got the trailer)
I added inside fans to my Norcold, just gotta make sure I
don't pack beer on the top shelf by the fan cuz the toggle switch with poke a hole in them! :)
