Normally, a kink in a hose it would either work or not- the refrigerator uses so little LP that the hose can be 90% blocked, but still work fine .
The most common problem with units in a slide are the back cooling fans stop working- these are critical for proper cooling.
I have your exact same TC.
X2 on the hose, not it. In addition to that, if the hose were kinked, your fridge would error out and not light up, and you'd have the "Check" light come on.
I had this exact same problem on a toyhauler I owned where the fridge was also on a slide. Freezer would get to 40, fridge 58.
Since the fridge is on the slide and not the side wall, we do not have a roof vent, we have upper and lower side vents, with a fan forcing air through the upper vent. That fan had quit, causing the coils to never cool down. Problem was traced to a bad thermister - the little thermal switch that turns the fan on and off.
Fire up your fridge and after about an hour, go out and see if the fan is coming on. Also, check to see that critters did not get up in there and make a new home in there.
