More information and thanks for all the comments. We are home and the fifth is sitting headed north but the scrubs on the drivers side are higher than the fifh so shade on that side until the sun changes to expose the back and soon the shade from the tall scrubs has that side in the shade, Fridge in the slide and has cooling fans that scream but didn't seem to hear them during the time the fridge was warm and no food in the fridge but frozen food in the freezer. Freezer is 10 degrees and the fridge is 40 at this time of 7:pm Thermistor is not attached to a fin and doesn't show as what we have had in the past rv's. Trailer is sitting level. the 30 amp power has gone out before the issue but have a 20 amp heavy cord powering the trailer and just the fridge is running on that. I feel it might be ok but we will head south again this September. chevman
1. Fans should be running
2. I CANNOT STATE THIS AS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE---When a refer is in a slide room, it is best to have a fan at the top access door blowing OUT. Regardless of any fans that are lower blowing up. So, if you remove the upper access door and there is NO fan visible blowing out, Install one. You will be amazed at the better cooling you get.
3. Also as important as the fan in a slide----Look at the upper condensor fins when you remove the upper access door. IF there is any gap between the edge of the fins and the interior outside wall, you need to make a simple wood panel to force ALL the convection air THRU those fins. If no block panel, you don't get the benefit of adequate air flow thru those fins. The air flow REMOVES the heat to allow the CU to operate.
4. Do these things and you will have a awesome refer. Also reconnect the Thermister on the fins. Doug
PS your temps show that the refer is OK and do my modifications and you will see the lower probably get to 32 degrees.
