See if the sensor is off the fins in the back of the fridge.

Yeah I just had that problem and that was what it was. Normally it didn't matter but now with the 100 deg temps it made a big difference. Got it seated back on the fin and moved to the top and frig is now cold, not cold cold but cold enough with the temps we have that is good.

Check for obstruction in heat flu, even a spiderweb can cause malfunction.

Checked connections, looked for webs, Tapped on coils with the plastic end of a screwdriver.............and about a half hour later I heard it kick on. So Im keeping my fingers crossed and the freezer so far has started getting cold again. So time will tell stay tuned..............

6/29 Well looks like it does not work on Electric. Switching back to propane to see if it gets cold again.

6/30 Its officially dead, Tech coming out Tuesday morning. Never gave any error codes to warn us it just went.

Well we had it shut off for almost 18 hrs, and turned in back on last night before we went to bed. Its set to electric on 4 This morning at 7 when we got up, the freezer was freezing @ 0* and the fridge was fridging. There is nothing in it tho. So we will keep out eye on it, and still have them come out Tuesday morning and check it out.

Up date, what a roller coaster its been. First it works then it don't. Then the freezer works but the fridge don't, then they both work again. Have them coming out Wednesday because I canceled last tuesday because we thought it was working again. Im just afraid I will hear "Sorry we cant duplicate the problem it seams to be working fine."

Well its Dead, Waiting for authorization to fix the cooling unit or the whole fridge. If the fridge gets replaced It sounds like they have to take it out the side window or the back window. Not looking forward to this.

Took the trailer in yesterday and had a New cooling unit put on it. So the good thing is no window was involved. Guess they just put it on the living room floor. I did however have to fix the bottom right corner, because they did not get it slid back far enough, it stuck out almost a 1/2 inch. Just glad I could fix it and did not have to take it back in.
