Warm wall beside fridge normal ?

[grumpypapa]

In our 2016 303rls I have noticed that the wall on the left side of the fridge at the back corner and about 3 inches of the slide wall, get quite warm when the fridge is cooling down.Is this normal?

Would it be the lack of insulation in that corner ? The wife had a bottle of wine sitting there in the corner and it actually warmed up the wine,thats how we noticed,who likes warm wine.

I don't think its normal. I happen to have read something on the Trailer Life website recently about someone who fixed a similar problem. Its at: http://www.trailerlife.com/uncategorized/24128/

Yes, I think it is normal, assuming you have the fridge that runs on either 110V AC or propane. The fridge cools by heating chemicals whether you are on gas or electric. The heating element and the gas flame is located at the left aft of the fridge. Look at some of the YouTube videos about how these fridges work and you will understand the heating aspect of it. It is kind of a neat concept as the fridge has no moving parts.
