I appreciate all the thought that is going into my cooling problem.... if anyone has doubts as to how cold its getting, I can take pictures or video of the readings.
the simple wall thermometer that I used normally hangs on the post outside my back door... when I brought it in the house, it read the same as my inside thermometer.
the industrial freezer thermometer I have been using is a certified thermometer. my intent has been to install it permanently so that I can monitor the interior of the fridge without opening the door to read an interior thermometer
its not difficult to read a thermometer and the thermometers are at least accurate within a degree or two....
I am positive that the aftermarket thermostat I installed is the reason it gets so cold now, as the original non adjustable thermistor did not allow it to get near as cold..
since we got back from our last trip (when the fridge quit cooling again) I have had the unit running for two weeks now without any issues.
with the suggestions I have gotten in an attempt to find the issue, I am more familiar with it, and about all i can do now is hit the road again and see if it remains working... if/when it quits working again, I have some knowledge of what I should be looking for. thanks for all the support.
