I had more insulation put above my fridge, also a baffle installed so that when fan does kick on ( @ around 130 Deg. ) the air is blown out the top vent and away from fridge. My fridge is also in a slideout.

Anyone at the Goshen Rally have a picture of the baffles that Heartland or dometic were putting in the slide refers?

I wouldnt think so. Ours is a model# NDR1062 for what it's worth.
Alan,
Dometic was not doing any service themselves at the rally. There was a Dometic Authorized service shop (Holmes on Wheels) servicing a couple of units only. Not sure if he did any of this baffling.
I can tell you when I got my current Pinehurst and had refer trouble. The trouble was the freezer was not cold enough and was creating frost at an alarming rate. The refrigerator section temperature was fine. Here's what was done:
The issue turned out to be the ice maker was not mounted fully back into the freezer case. Upon visual inspection, this was not evident. The door was shutting fine. But evidently, the ice maker was pushing outward ever so slightly on the door so as to cause an air gap and that is why I was making frost.
After the ice maker was fitted properly, all was well.
Sorry this is of no help to you but wanted to add a bit about my baffle and spread the word a bit about freezer frost build up to help others if theirs is building up way to fast.

- Insulation added to top of refer cavity
- Luan added below insulation to just above top vent

Got my rv back last week and now they said they found a wire that was cut or something...got it back home and now it's cooling in the lower 60's...still isn't cooling but the freezer remains frozen. Has anybody ever seen this before...I'm beginning to think it will never be fixed. HELP!

Get Proof the Refrig is FIXED!

You should go back to the repair place and have them DEMONSTRATE TO YOU THAT THE REFRIG/FREEZER IS WORKING PROPERLY before signing off on the repair. Some sort of recorded documentation of temperatures over time would be especially desireable.
They are supposed to be the experts, better than us amateurs.

They read off to me that it's cooling at 30-40 degrees when i pick it up but they can't keep it hooked on AC all the time b/c they have other rv's to work on so my rv fridge is off when i pick it up every time. They just tell me they fixed it 'this time' and read the work order to me.

Got our BH 3670 back Saturday, the fridge is holding at 36 set on 3. Dealer put in baffle, insulation, and a switch set at 105. All parts were supplied by Dometic. We had very high heat and humidity Sat and Sun, fridge held well.

Nan; can you please post or PM me the part numbers of the parts installed so I can request the same parts for our Augusta. Do you have the 9cf or the 4 door fridge?
Did you get your fridge repaired? We just bought ours in march this year and it does the same thing. It's been in the shop 6 or more times and of course never quits while they are watching it. It really upset me that others are having the same problem yet they act as if they've never heard of the problem.
