freezing refrig

The refrigerator in our 2016 23IKSS is a Dometic DMR 702. Is there any way to adjust the temperature? There is no slide on the fins but just a sensor slightly below the fins. I have down loaded the owners manual but found nothing about temperature adjustment. Trouble shooting describes the light patterns but not how to access them.

Got that panel but set temp to "warmest" (opposite of coldest) and it still freezes stuff. Manuals show 2 adjustments on the circuit board but I am not sure if they will effect the temp or just to verify good or bad status on the thermister.

Too cold on both LP and 120vAC?

Too cold is a rare complaint for these refrigerators and a fix for it is lacking in the troubleshooting area of the owner's manual. I haven't seen the service manual.

Too cold everywhere or in specific locations? I use an internal fan to blow the cold air around to equalize temperature. Are you using one?

I know LP devices work differently at high altitudes and require different flame jets.

We used to dry camp exclusively but recently have been using electric and water hookups. I wasn't aware of a problem under propane use. I think the problem is in the middle shelf. I haven't seen the fans you refered to. Can you post a link to one of them.

Here's a simple battery powered fan:

Just to clarify for myself and others, is ice building up on the fins or are items in the refrigerator freezing? You mentioned the middle shelf so I’m guessing the latter.

Thanks for the link and pic. No ice on fins just frozen lettuce, cottage cheese, potato salad and that kinda stuff. We are scurrying to get going tomorrow morn to secure a favorite spot for the 4hth weekend. Filling frig is underway. Will see what happens. Wife says it may be a too full problem. Used to carrying food for the kids but as empty nesters its hard to down size but we do eat good.
