Our coach was in the shop for a few days recently and the Norcold 1200 was empty and turned off. Outside temps are 100-108 daily. When the refer got cold after 30 hr, the temp on the upper shelf by the fins was 27. Freezer was around 7. (controls set on 9, coldest setting). We put the food back in the refer, and in addition to the normal wireless thermometer on the upper shelf I put one on the lowest shelf/drawer where the milk sits (and spoils way too soon). A couple of days later I check the temps and the upper shelf was 34 while the milk drawer was 56. The freezer temp has remained pretty much around 7 or less. We DO have a battery operated fan in the food box, normally sitting on the top shelf on the right side.
I moved the fan to the milk drawer and added a second one just like it. That made virtually no difference. After experimenting for a couple of days I ended up the both fans UPSIDE DOWN on the left near the top blowing downward. That has resulted in top temp of 36 and bottom temp of 44 ...much better, but still a surprising difference to me.
Has anyone else experimented with TWO inside thermometers in the food box? For folks who use just one thermometer, where do you normally have it located?
