There is no frost or moisture ever showing up on the cooling fins, but the freezer is cold enough to make ice. So my questions are: is there any fan to circulate the cold from the freezer section to the refrigerator section? Looking at the owners information it appears there is a fan somewhere, but I don't see or hear one anywhere. What cooling setting do others have their refrigerators on and what temperature is it maintaining? I realize these absorption units are different animals from typical residential units having a compressor. Just not sure what I should expect. Thanks for the help.

I don’t have your model of Norcold but the one in my coach, also a Norcold, will get the freezer down to about -15 and the fridge to about 20 on it’s coldest setting. It is very slow in doing so though so if you are opening the doors often or if the seal on the door is not tight you might be fighting a losing battle. Also, it doesn’t work nearly as well if you have a lot of stuff in your fridge. I do not believe there is any way to alter the flow of coolant between the compartments. Putting a small battery operated fan in the lower compartment can be a very big help. You can buy them for this specific purpose for under $10 on Amazon. But I’d start by checking to see if your doors are sealing tightly.
