Fridge failing - on the road ***Updated to include fix***

[AlmostAnOldGuy]

We are camping and the Norcold N81X refrigerator is not keeping the refrigerator cold. The freezer compartment is still frozen but fridge section is approaching 50 degrees and it is running constantly.

Same issue on electric or gas.

Seems to have deteriorated in last couple of days. That is, cooling efficiency has fallen off and I can hear the gas running every time I check.

Will likely shut down and grab a cooler and ice to finish trip.

The clip on the fins was not knocked loose. Have adjusted slightly higher.

Any helpful thoughts appreciated.


Thanks,
Stu

Take a serious look at going to a residential fridge. If you don't dry camp a lot then they really make sense.
If and when mine dies, I already have plans to go resi.

I'm no fridge expert.... You haven't had something fall on your rig and block a vent, or something crawl in there have you? Hopefully others can help more..
