Many RVers don't like the constant rattle and the unevenness of some of these wire-type shelves here and they have a tendency to wanna put either aluminum foil over them or plastic. I see some people even put the non-skid stuff on here. When you're doing that, then you're keeping air flow from getting through the entire RV refrigerator. It's important that we keep these open and so that we don't have just the hot up in the top. We're gonna start getting our fins would start to freeze in there, then our thermistor's gonna have a wrong reading into it.
So, what you really need to do in something like this is keep them open, maybe lay stuff down here so it doesn't have a tendency to be as uneven, but keep the airflow going in this thing. You may even wanna put one of the little nine-volt fans down in the bottom just to keep that in. So, keep it nice and wide open. It'll run more efficient.
I don't think the lower fridge is working
<strong>Ticket 35799</strong> My refrigerator at the lowest setting is freezing everything in the refrigerator. I defrosted the refrigerator but it is still freezing everything including the eggs. Do you think I need a new thermostat??

What is the best way to clean the outside rear panel of the fridge. Dust, cobwebs from being storages. If using an compress air compressor would said dust enter cabin area.
Have a Dometic Fridge and it works properly on propane but will not work on AC. Took my shop vac and made sure I was getting ac to plug
My rv fridge will not work on propane but works fine on electricity. How can I troubleshoot?
Hi, I'm new to RVing. I have a small truck camper I bought used, it's a 2013 and the problem I'm having is that it seems to take a long time for the fridge to cool down. I took the camper out last weekend and so turned the fridge on early Thursday am. and it still was not to temp by Sunday, the freezer had just barely begun to freeze by Sunday. The fridge is a Dometic and operates on propane and electricity it also has a cooling fan. I live in the mountains off the coast of California so the ambient temp was in the 70's. Is this typical for an RV fridge? or is it in need of charging? Any advice/help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time George
