I could be wrong but I believe on the Dometic RM 1350 if you unplug the thermistor it won’t default to continuous cooling but will instead think the unit has failed and shutdown. I believe the way to test it is to run a thermistor outside of the fridge therefore it will never sense it getting cold. Also the ceiling inside the fridge is the correct placement for it.

Haven’t tried it myself but I believe the easiest to do is buy a second one (that is what I have seen mentioned by several others). Unplug the original and leave it in place, plug in the new one outside.
I believe you can also use an ohm meter to confirm yours is working. I saw a chart that shows temp vs ohms. I’ll see if I can dig it up.
I don’t want to post the link but if you type in “dometic thermistor ohm chart”
You will see directions on how to test it.
As I understand it a failed thermistor will usually default to allowing the fridge to run non stop.Last edited by Justa5th; 05-25-2020 at 10:26 PM.

This is very common issue when frig can not vent heat directly overhead, some GD's, my 2607MK is one, could have vented thru roof but chose not to.
If you go on refrig mfg's site and find the actual install directions you will see the baffle referred to below.
My old Sporttrek actually never installed any kind of baffle, that is how I discovered it, looking for answer to hot frig.
I first upgraded insulation all around frig, used pink foam and FG all around. Then fabed a tight fitting baffle and added a second fan.
Helped a lot but adding a small fan that circulated air all the time inside frig made the biggest difference. I wired it into 12V feed to door light before door switch.
Hope this helps.

I feel your pain. I just pulled my 2020 Norcold 1210 12CF out today. It's not in the slide it's in the back. My new Samsung 18CF residential will be delivered to my house Friday. PD 1000W Invertor with built in auto transfer switch and 200Amp fuse and cables will be here tomorrow.
I bought my 2020 Reflection 320MKS 5th wheel 1st of Dec. Between DW hip replacement and COVID I have researched and troubleshot and had $250 worth of techs on it. Temps up, down all over the place. Norcold tech service not much help. She (DW) was NOT having it! Tired of messing with it. Don't boondock much but when I do I have the generator.
So I just advertised it for sale $2500 (they sell for $3600-4000!) Still 6-7 months warranty left. I'll be ready to go by Sunday!
Good luck with yours though! I'm sure the right tech will figure it out and fix it.2021 Silverado 2500HD
