In N. Central FL. Ambient temps in the mid 80's.

Time to consider replacement?

Thanks.

The most common problem with RV fridges not keeping things cool is leakage around the doors. Try the dollar bill test. Put a dollar bill in the door seal so that enough short edge sticks-out, so you can get a two finger (and thumb) grip on it. The door seal in all places should hold the bill tight enough to almost tear the bill before you and finally remove it. Try the test all around the doors. My N611 is 5 years old as the freezer stays at 20 to 22 degrees (on 4 with ambient temps up to 90 F; above thatwe use 5) and the fridge will freeze soft drink can in about 20 hours (beer stays liquid). Make sure the sun never shines directly on the fridge vents.
