Hi All
Norcold 1210 12cu ft fridge
Recently spent a couple weeks camping with a fridge that does not stay a consistent temperature. It started with outside temps about 24*C and the fridge on 7 which resulted in an interior temp of 3*C. All good.
Then the outside temp went up to 28*-30* and the interior fridge temp went up to 8*c..Not good. Increased fridge setting to 9 and no change. Installed an extra vent fan in front of the cooling fins and it worked well...for a while...then temps went back up again. So I installed another. In front of the cooling fins exhausting out the upper vent cover. And it works ok but when the temps went up to 33*C..it got too warm inside again. Switched to propane and it is better. Then the outside temps dropped and the fridge got too cold.
To the best of my knowledge, with two fans on steady and two on a temp switch, it should never get too warm inside. I'm not super familiar with the absorption tech. Any hints as to what I need to do to make this fridge maintain a consistent temp?
Also, being a four door fridge I constantly checked the ' door flap' and it seemed to be doing it's job properly.
