The refrigerator is made by Domestic. Any advice would be appreciated. Kevin

Do not use the fridge until you find out what is going on.
I could not find "122s" in a google, what is your camper? The vent on the sides of almost all campers behind the fridge are air baffle vents to let air in. Did you start the fridge up with 'Gas' or 'Electric' mode? The hot air should go straight up to a vent on the roof and not out of the side. can you take the side vent baffles off and see if anything is clogged/stuffed in there? Mud dobbers/ bird nest?
