Dometic Fridge not cooling

[Captain Skippy]

So this is the second time out with the new camper. Three weeks ago we went to the mountains where it was cool and the fridge was fine. This weekend we’re in Charleston SC where it was 85 yesterday and we came back to see the fridge reading 44 degrees. Totally unsafe. 45 dollars of meats and cheeses trashed. This is the 4 door dometic and I bumped up the temp switch Up to 5 and it went up to 46. Not sure what is going on. Read various threads that say basically this fridge is crap. I’ll be on the phone with GD when I get home.

Freezer temperature is the diagnostic measure. Though refrigerator temp is not unimportant, you need to know your freezer temperature to do any troubleshooting.

I’ll get a thermometer for it. Thanks
