I removed my 2 way fridge due to inconsistent temps in the refer section and installed a 10.0 cu ft dorm style fridge.
the issue I’m having is the freezer section is cold @1-5 deg which is good, but can’t seem to get the fridge section colder than about 40 degrees. If I take the fridge out of the rv cabinet the refer section goes down to 35 degrees. So the issue to me seems to be a venting problem the refer can’t dissipate the heat while in the cabinet.
It seems the newer refrigerators have the coils running inside the walls of the fridge instead of the traditional fan cooled coils, probably for energy efficiency I suppose but if the fridge is in a cabinet it has trouble cooling properly.
Have others also had this issue?
Thanks,
