Refrigerator not cooling rchiasson@sulphur.org 6-22-09  
My refrigerator keeps a temperature between 40 to 45 or higher and that’s only with a gallon of milk and a few things in the door. I have that foolish little temperature controller pushed up all the way. And it’s completely leveled.
When I empty the unit it will get as cold as 30 or less and not be as level as it is when we are camping.
This is a 2008 Dometic refrigerator. Can you tell me what the problem may be with the temperature?
I feel that foolish little temperature controller is a joke. But that can’t be the problem.

Its operating right on spec at 40 F (acctualy 42 is spec). The contents should not dictate how cold it will get but outside air temp might. Good Luck

Altho 40 may be OK spec, the fridge should have the ability to get colder. There is a part called a Temp Adjuster. it is a 23000 ohm resistor in parallel with the thermistor (7000 ohm at 40 degrees) It will drop the temp 3 or 4 degrees at the specific setting. I am traveling and do not have the part number but the techs at Dometic can give it to you and sell you one. If they wont, email me and I will send you one.
