we still have considerable swings in temperature of the fridge from 28-42 degrees. The temperature really seems to go up when we open the fridge for only a matter of seconds. I am at a loss as to what to do next.
I'd quit worrying about it. It all sounds normal for any of the absorbtion fridges we have had. I would not worry unless the temp gets up into the high 40s to mid 50s and stays there. 42 is plenty cold to keep stuff from spoiling.
I agree. The air volume is small and the exchange of cold air with room air is high when the door is opened. That will make the air temperature measure high.
Put a glass of water in there and measure the temperature with an instant read thermometer. I bet you'll find the water stays cold while the air temperature might go up after opening the door.
Exactly. When you get groceries that includes dairy, frozen and chilled. It sits in the car for some time before it gets to the home reefer. It doesn't spoil. I am going to do the water test.
