my dometic fridge
what are we doing wrong? our fridge won't get cold and stay cold. takes forever to get cold and then it won't stay cold. I know they need to be pretty level,, but is it imperative to be TOTALLY 100...

Comfortably level is required for proper operation of absorption fridges.
Off level operation can cause damage (blockages)....damage is accumulative
Outside temps do affect cooling...the hotter it is the less cooling effect
Also the amount of time sun is shining on wall fridge is installed in will affect cooling.
Proper air flow thru outside vent across backside of fridge and out the top vent is critical for cooling. How well heat is being transferred will affect cooling (dirty burner, dirty flue, improperly positioned flue baffle)
Not over packing the inside will also help with cooling. Over packing doesn't allow for cool air circulation.
