Sorry about the glitch. If your fridge is in a slide out, the fridge has a side vent vs. the roof vent for fridges not in slides. In some cases, there has been a blockage of that upper vent preventing the fridge from cooling properly. Also, there may be a temp activated fan in the vent area which may not be working.

Hopefully, your dealer will be up on all this and will check for these issues.

rutny ...

sorry you are having trouble keeping the beer cold and the ice cream frozen ... that is a bummer ...

RV fridges are called "ammonia absorbtion" ... here is a URL that describes how they work ... there are also some links showing how to trouble shoot ...

RV Fridge Info

This shows a nice diagram of how they work
