Help !!
Okay, we are leaving for a week at Disney's Fort Wilderness on Friday morning.
I plugged the camper in yesterday.
Everything is working with the exception of the Fridge. It is a BRAND NEW 2015 Grey Wolf Limited.
Yesterday the fridge and freezer were on their way to getting cold but when I just went out to check it they were both hot.
Hot as in room temp.
The camper has shore power hooked up. A full battery and the propane tanks are on.
It is sitting on a slight incline but nothing extreme.
Any ideas at ALL?!?!?!
HELP !!!

Oh, I went around to the back and opened up the fridge cover and all looked as it should. The compressor/vertical tube that cools the gas mixture was warm/hot to the touch.

Sounds like it's plugged. How level is it actually? If it is off too much it will overheat

Is the inside light working?
Auto switch pushed in?
Fridge brand?

Okay, I have turned it off and am hopeful that it will "reset" itself.

I would level the coach and try again. 12 degrees front down is to much I think. Easy to remove front down just raise the front of the coach.

The way my driveway is angled I can not raise the front end anymore unfortunately.
I have it turned off right now. I will be hooking it up and putting it level on Thursday morning to finish loading up.
When I do that I am HOPEFUL that everything will be okay.
We are planning on parking it in a different location when we get home and that will be more level and hopefully we will not run into the situation again for the precooling phase of the fridge.

Just read the manual and as none of the lights were blinking to indicate an issue I am hoping that it was in fact just clogged.
Hopefully the idiot lights do not make an idiot out of me. Then again, I may have already done that is the darn thing is a tally fried. :/

I'm sorry,but if I was leaving on Friday,I'd want to know everything was working.I'd be moving it now rather than later. It should work once it's more level,unless there is some else wrong.Would hate to see you  because of no fridge.

Your right..... after dinner I will be hooking up and moving it.
Problem is that my power cord will not Reach that far. Should the battery be strong enough to run it till Friday Morning?
It's a brand new deep cycle that has a full charge.

If you are not using ac or microwave a regular extention cord with a 30 to 15 adapter will work just fine. The battery will be fine but may not make it till Friday then your battery is dead and you may not have emergency brakes.

Okay, I have a 50' thick cord but it will not reach to where I have to park it flat at. I do have 100' of regular cord.
That's what I'll do.

After you are level with the world it should be okay to give it another try.
Please do keep us updated.

It should work on LP without any electrical hookup or is it a residential fridge.

Okay, she's moved and my 50' 12-2 cord reached.
I'm going to let her sit for an hour or so then turn the fridge back on.
That long enough??
