Home today planing my excellent adventure to Disney in May...
Just opened the fridg, out of couriosity, and it was COLD. The thermometer read 35 dgrees. It has never read 35 since I brought my unit home in December. It has always read 45 to 48 degrees. Not good for storing food.
The fridg is empty, but I have left it on because the freezer still works and stays at a constant temp of 0 dgrees.
Recent history was the tech came out on Thursday and removed the thermostat and told me to call Friday morning if there was any change in temp. There was, it was 50 dgrees. So that's when Keystone, I, and the dealer tech all talked and decided a new fridg should be ordered.
The temp was at 47 all day yesterday and when I last checked at 11pm last night. I just checked it and it is now 35 degrees.(where it should be)
Two questions.
1. Does it sound reasonable that it would take 2 days for a closed refridg to drop 12 degrees once the thermostat was removed? (providing the thermostat was the problem)
2. The outside temps went from high 70's, low 60's (last week) down to low 40's to high 60's today. I know that outside temps should not really have an effect on a fridg maintaining the correct temps, but would this change with a thermostat removed? Dumb question??
I guess I'm feeling a little hopeful that it might be the thermostat afterall and I won't have to wait for a new fridge to "get out of the camping mode". But then, it just might be a Wack-A-Doodle refridgerator.
Any opinions?
