Fridge problems?

[kskountry]

Does anyone else have a regular house fridge in their camper? We had one that we bought brand new (Magic Chef 10 cu ft) and it worked for a couple weeks then stopped cooling in the fridge part. The freezer, however, kept totally cold. We bought it as a returned item so we figured it was a pre-existing problem.
We returned it and got a brand new one exactly like our old one. We have had it for 3 weeks now. We came home tonight to find it warm (warm enough the milk had spoiled) in the fridge, but the freezer fine.
Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

That doesn't sound good, I would be taking it back and getting a different Brand!

It may not be able to withstand the "travels on the road" plus it seems like you could have problems with the electricity not being completely compatible. (I doubt you have a pure sinewave inverter - and some electrical items may not work well without it.)

I know folks that do that and they even replace the water heater with an office style. They never do any dry camping and are always plugged in when using the rig. I think I’d try a different brand of refrigerator and check the wiring out.

Thanks for all the suggestions. We checked with a repairman today & was told since it is a frost free model & it is frosting over badly it is a problem that wasn't caused by us. I googled it, and it seems there are a lot of people with the same issue
