We have a 33 ft Mobile Suite and love it. But, we have been having some issues with the refrigerator in hot weather in it not keeping the food cold. The fins have very little moisture on them, no ice at all over time. Ice maker works fine, but the other just doesn't seem to keep food cold. Have checked the fuse and fan in the back and the fuse is fine, but the little fan in the back never seems to be on, not sure if it is supposed to be on.

I had the same problem in our 2005 Mobile Suites some time ago in hot weather. RV technician advised me to take the back off the outside and tap the tubes as they turn, on each end, with the handle of a screwdriver. Apparently something can crystalize in there and tapping it loosens it up. Has worked perfectly ever since and that was 3 years ago.

This may not apply....But in really Hot weather when at a Full h/u site, I plug in one of those smaller 120 volt fans in the Refrig compartment to help disipate heat....this Fan is in addition to the Solar exhaust fan on the roof. It seems to help out. Good Luck

WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OUE FRIDGE IN OUR MOBILE SUITES. THE CURE IS PRETTY SIMPLE IN OUR CASE ITS NOT GETTING ENOUGH AIR AT THE TOP OF THE FRIDGE ON THE OUTSIDE REMOVE THE COVER AND SEE IF YOU HAVE INSULATION FALLING DOWN OVER THE COILS IF SO FIGURE A WAY TO HOLD THE INSULATION UP OVER THE COILS.WE BUILT A METAL PLATE TO HOLD UP INSULATION AND MAKE SURE NOTHING IS BLOCKING THE COILS FROM GETTING AIR OURS WORKS GREAT NOW HOPE THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM.LET US KNOW IF IT IS
