After showing someone in our campground our new Big Horn, they went and bought the same model. As soon as they got home they discovered the fridge didn't cool and went through some difficulty until they discover it was the thermister (not sure of spelling). When they replaced it everything went fine.
Now my fridge is causing some questions. Since we bought it the interior temp has been 36-37 degrees - well within safe ranges. Over the last few days it has slowly crept upwards until it is just managing 39-40, barely within safe ranges. We defrosted the fins, cleaned it up and restarted it yesterday (today its 39-40).
Questions: could this be due to increased exterior heat, our daytime temps have gone up to the mid 80s and its been extremely humid? IF so, will exhaust fans installed behind the fridge near the vents help?
If not daytime temps or weather related, and nothing else has changed, could this be a symptom of something beginning to malfunction? If so, what?
I may be a bit paranoid but want to nip things before they get out of hand and too many Dometic fridges have had mother boards or thermisters replaced.
Thanks for any suggestions.
