I ran my fridge for 48 hours on electric and it never got below 50 degrees! I tried gas and nothing different. The area is clear of wasps, etc. and is fairly clean. Does it ever need some sort of fluid? I know it's not a freon based fridge, but what else can I try? This was in the 90 degree weather with temps near 70 at night, out of the sun.

I am assuming this is a 3 way absorption fridge? The Dometic in our current camper is very sensitive to state of level, especially when the ambient temp is above 80. That fact that your fridge made it to 50 rules out a tripped thermal breaker. All of that said, absorption fridges do have a life span of 5-10 years from what I understand.

It is 8 years old
 . Thanks for your response. It had been working fairly well (35-40 degrees) until this week. Take care! Enjoy your travels. Liz |
