Atwood Refrigerator Failure Question
Question for those who have had a failure with the Atwood fridge on electric... Do both the fridge and freezer fail?
We picked up the camper from storage this afternoon, drove home and plugged in, started fridge on AC. After a couple hours the back of the freezer is cool but fridge (and fins) not cool at all. The outdoor temperature was upper 80s, in the camper probably over 100. Its now down to 94 inside (per the outdoor portion of the indoor outdoor thermometer we keep in the fridge). It's likely I'm just anxious after loading the camper in the heat and having to delay the start of the trip to take the truck to the dealer, and really looking forward to this trip that should be cooler weather and ends at the rally.

Hopefully your fridge is under 24 months old and can be a warranty claim. I guess Atwood just wasn't up to being a fridge maker since they recently sold out to Dometic.

Well since the freezer was cooling not sure we have a failure. I'm just in worry mode.
Our mfg date was October 13, we purchased in November 13, and are really happy with the rig.

Looks like we don't have a problem, other than going into worry mode. Ran on gas overnight and inside temp is 37. Switched to AC and will see temp when we get ready to leave. The outdoor temperature got to 72 last night.
I really love this forum, but it can make me worry about things unnecessarily. Almost ready to head north and to the rally. See you there.

They will take forever to cool down in hot, humid weather.
Try using frozen jugs of water to help cool it down when first starting. It cuts cool down easily in half.Steve- Inventory Manager at Tom Schaeffer's RV, Shoemakersville, PA www.tomschaeffers.com

Thanks Hunter. I thought from 97 to 37 empty from 7 pm to 6 am was pretty impressive!
