Norcold 2118 runs continuously

[DennisK]

We have a 2021 Solitude 377MBS with a Norcold 2118 refrigerator. The refrigerator and freezer both cool properly. The problem is the refrigerator never turn off. It runs 24 hours per day on electric. Has anyone else seen this problem? Or does anyone have a potential solution?

We have the same fridge in our 2019 Solitude. We had the door flapper issue, fixed now, and have checked all the seals. Our fridge still runs almost constantly. These things have a defrost cycle that runs about every 48 hours. During the warm up cycle, the internal temps rise about 10 degrees C. As a result it needs to cool for about 24 - 30 hrs to get back to nominal temps. On propane, ours burns through a 30# tank in about 8 or 9 days! Also, the coldest we can get the freezer is about -16C or about 4F. If we set it for anything colder, stuff in the fridge section starts to freeze. USFDA recommendations are at or below 0F for a freezer.
We have gone back and forth with both GD and Norcold and both say this is "within spec".
We will be replacing this piece of junk with a residential at our earliest opportunity.
