Update

Well I think I am good to go now. The thermister was barely hanging on the bottom of the fin.

And of all things Biscuit questioned my thermometer. :S I should of checked it first. It appears to be showing 4 to 5 degrees too warm.

anyway, all is well that ends well. i'm gonna shut that project down.

Thanks Biscuit

I noticed my performance going to pot last winter. had to crank the setting all the way up just to get by.

I was the one who asked a question about the install of the exhaust fan. Got all the trash out of the vent and coils and the fan is installed and running. With nothing in the frige and it on all night it was still setting on 38 this am.

Any suggestions on what to keep checking for?

how about that thing that clips on the frige fins and can be slid up and down?

I am at a loss here.

Since you are in Illinois, I would take a little trip over to Shipshewana, Indiana, and see Leon Hershberger at National RV Refrigeration

Better yet, call and make an appointment. You will have to leave a message (he's Amish) and Leon will call you back. I guarantee that whatever is wrong will get fixed. You will leave there with a fully functional refrigerator. He will diagnose and fix what's wrong. He won't pad the bill. He is as honest as the day is long and you will be a happy camper.

thanx

I have a related question. New to me Newmar rig with dometic fridge. I am used to the fridge door have a vacuum after opening and then closing the door and trying to open it again should be hard to do. The new to me rig, the freezer seems to be that way, hard to open after having opened it but on the fridge, it clicks closed but does not have that vacuum. Food is keeping cold, the fins do have some condensation on them and the drip tray has some drips in it, nothing terrible but just wonder if this is ok or should I need a new gasket or ???

Hi,

The drip tray connects to a drain tube. You won't feel much vacuum unless the tube is clogged or frozen.
