We went to where we keep our MH. It is plugged into shore cord. The fridge was on, but it was warm. The temp settin was at 5, it had been set at 7, when we tried to set it at 9 (the highest). It would auto reset back to 5. After turning the fridge off and turning it back on it would reset to 9. It now appears to be cooling back down. Could the fridge have become too cold and froze up turning itself off? Any ideas what happened?

Make sure the thermister,(the little temp-sensor) on the cooling fins are not iced up. If so, defrost the unit.

Make sure the coach is level. Make sure you have good 12 vdc feeding the refrigerator and that you have good 120 vac and/or LP gas feeding ref. If this happens again, are you able to check voltages (dc & ac)?
