Dometic refir not cooling well

[Gregory OConnor]

Bob, thanks for the Dometic trouble shooting guide. It even has a
repair for #15 Refrig light On when door is closed.

Scott has the same problem I did with the fridge functioning perfect
and the refer not keeping food cold. As Per CurtS, I installed 12
volt computer fan to blow over the coils which helped. the big
result came when I shrouded the fan to draw in new air and push out
the hot air. With my refer on a angle I had enough room to direct the
incomming air over the coil and not at the amonia heater. I must now
turn the refer dial down.

I could never understand why the fride would work so good and the
refer had issues. I can only guess that maintaing frozen food in the
small space is less effort then constant recooling room temp
introduced foods to the refer.
