2020 Montana Hight Country with a Dometic RM1350SLX fridge.

Wondering what everyone else has for normal refrigerator temperatures. Mine will only keep mid 20s in the freezer and 40s in the fridge. Doesn't matter what temperature number I have it set at 1 or 5.

I had a service tech come out and he couldn't find anything wrong with the unit. Said maybe it had a bubble or clog inside the tubing. The only thing he recommended was taking it out and turning it upside down a few times to see if that helped. Gave it 50/50 chance. He really just wanted to rip it apart and put in an amish cooling unit but we couldn't stick around for that. Plus the cost.

I've tried all the normal tricks. Changed the thermistor, checked the cooling fans, added an extra fan to push more air through outside fins, added an interior fan to move air in the fridge box, checked the seals, made sure it is level.

It doesn't matter if I'm on propane or electric it just doesn't cool much. Outside temps are not high either. 40s at night and 60 day so that isn't it either.

Thoughts?
