It's more helpful if you posted what brand and model number your fridge is, instead of your trailer's model number. RV manufacturers often use different brands and model numbers of fridges.

It probably is a Dometic 2-way fridge. There should be a sticker with the model number, visible when you open the doors. You should also download the manual from Dometic's website, if you don't have one. It has a troubleshooting guide in it. But you'll need the model number.
Also, you don't have to call yourself a newbie. You've been a member here for over 2 years. I'm sure you've learned a lot by now.

Thanks

I mean I'm a newbie with things like: today was the first time I figured out how to take off the cover outside the RV where the reset button is..
And like someone mentioned online, a vent on the roof could be clogged? I don't have a way to get on the roof but where's that?

I had the same issue, especially when it was over 95 degrees outside. Do a search on my username and you’ll see one solution that I came up with. Every since I added the controller and fans I haven’t had any issues. Before I came up with my fix, I just usually hung a tarp to shade the back side of the fridge. I had the tarp at an angle to get some airflow between the tarp and the camper.
