Dometic rm2351

I have this Dometic rm2351 fridge and I have no idea what is going on. The freezer seems to work fine, but the refrigerator part gets up to 60-70 degrees. I know the AC power is working and when I switch to propane it comes on. I have checked the fuses and they are good to. Looked inside the two panels that come off and nothing looks out of place. It is only 4 years old so I am thinking I am missing something here. I know it takes a while to get cold but I would think the freezer would be the long pole here. Any Ideas?

How long has it been running?

R/V absorption type refrigerators can take up to 24 hours to get cold.

I'm pretty sure this model does not use an adjustable thermister.
The cooling temperature is preset and the temperature is automatically adjusted to that setpoint by the control board.

Still Having Issues

Okay so I have still been messing with it and the freezer definitely gets cold but the fridge does not. I see that there is a thermistor in the fridge. I have seen video's on how to test the resistance but not sure what it should be if it is good or bad when it is letting fridge get warm. Anyone have any ideas?

Figured it out!

Well here is another learning opportunity. My in-laws stayed in the camper over the weekend and mentioned walking up a hill to get to the bathroom. The trailer wasn't crazy unlevel, but must have been enough. I got it leveled and now the fridge is working just fine.

Glad it's working.
I know you said it wasn't 'crazy unlevel' but if it is unlevel enough to notice when walking in the R/V, that is pretty unlevel.
