The freezer works perfect. I take it to the dealer he keeps it a week it works perfect, I have the same problem at other camp sites as well so its not the power. This has been going on over a year.
My question, has anyone else had this problem?
Our fridge was a 2008 that did everything yours is doing. Then It suddenly went out and had to replace the whole cooling unit.

When ours has had the same problem as yours it was because the fans were not turning on in the cooling fins because the connection was loose. There are two fans that must circulate the air in the back when it gets warm.
We too had similar issues with our Norcold. Tried replacing the inside thermister, bought inside fans (highly recommended EBAY) but still didn't perform like we expected. Then in March the unit failed with an ammonia leak and near fire. We decided to replace the cooling unit with a new Amish built unit and have been VERY happy!

My Norcold N1095L is cold in the a.m. when the outside air temp is low, but goes up to 40+ when the outside air temp gets hot, even though the temp inside the 5er is between 70 and 75. These things just aren't efficient or well insulated.
When this on craps out, I'll be looking for a residential unit. If they can stay cold for days at a time with no power following a hurricane, they should be fine for a few hours between CGs.
