Fire Concern

We are loading for a trip and I noticed that the refrigerator in the outdoor kitchen was hot to the touch on the sides of the unit (very hot).

Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Mine also gets warm when I first turn it on and it has to reach operating temp but it’s not bad after that as it just maintains. I was surprised at first, the sides get pretty warm, might even say hot but it doesn’t stay that way. I opened the kitchen door on the RV for a bit to get the air moving around it. Let it go and see if it gets better after it equilibrates.

Our fridge gets pretty warm too. I usually try to leave the kitchen door up, or at least cracked open, so it gets some air circulation.
