Is it in a slide or against an exterior wall?
Slide out fridges are difficult to keep cool in very hot weather due to the way the air flow needs to make two 90 degree bends. Additionally, the install usually does not provide a smooth air flow and the cooling fans they add in the back may not sufficient in 100 plus weather.
Most folks who camp in extremely hot weather make some modifications to improve the cooling air flow.
Also make sure the thermal temperature sensor is at the TOP of the fins and has not fallen out of the clip. You should see a wire hanging out of it.
You may need to augment the cooling with ice in the lower compartment.
