Dometic refir not cooling well

[Gregory OConnor]

Curt, I used a led lighted toggle switch to power my fan. Got the fan
from Radio shack 12 volt about $30.00, has a good hummmm. Powered it
from the 12 volt input to the refer. (I would have used a leaf
blower if that what it took the make the friggin-fridge work)

Of interesing note is the gas heater element has a heat stack that
passes next to the evap coil. the stack ends near the middle of the
fridge, below one other coil????? I dont know if it is intended to
passivly heat the other coil????? create heat convection and draw
more air over the evap coil??? all I know is with the fan, every
thing stays cool. (I'll leave amonia refrig engineering to Albert
Einstine the theory inventer)
I think an exhaust fan at the roof would work better with limited
space. When I tried putting a fan over the coil, the results proved
minimal improvement. That method seemed to just recirculate the
trapped hot air in the fridge mechanical area.
