Mine tends to hold a temperature of about 50 F less than the ambient air inside of the camper (e.g., 100 F in the camper = 50 F inside the refridgerator, while 70 F in the camper allows for a cool operation in the 20s inside the refridgerator). From memory, this is consistent with what others have indicated on the list. You might want to try some of the techniques that members have been listing on recent threads.

>The fridge seems to be unable to get lower than 20-degrees cooler than the outside air. I had it on 110V for 2 hours and all it seemed to be able to do was hold 70 degrees in the 90 degree temp in the van. Ideas? |
