Fridge too cold / freezer not cold enough

[albianne]

We have a Seville and it has the 17 cu ft fridge, just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem, there appears to be only one thermastat on the front of the door to adjust the temp, if I remember correctly it go's from 1-10 and in order to get the freezer to keep the meat frozen I have to turn the coldness level to 9 which is almost too cold for my fruit and veg in the fridge. Is there another guage for adjusting just the freezer coldness that I don't know about? I am almost scared to open the door when I go back to our seasonal lot, I left about a dozen cans of iced tea etc on the middle shelf not thinking about the fact that the fridge is on 9 and there will be nobody there opening and closing the fridge all day, hopefully it won't get soo cold that the cans burst!

There is a slider adustment on the right sidee of the fins inside the fridge at the back. Look for something cliped to the fins with a wire on it. Move this up the fin and see if the freeser gets colder.

Thanks - we have that issue also.

The more frozen stuff you put in helps to moderate the temp swing.

Chris, From the sonud of it they do not have a Dometic fridge. Mine does not have any of these adj buttons on the out side ?

We did look in all the obvious places for a freezer temp adjuster but didn't find anything, are you talking about a panel on the outside of the trailer behind where the fridge is installed that would allow us access to the back of the fridge?

The fins are inside the fridge part of the unit. Behind the top shelf.

I could be wrong but I don't think the button controlled fridge has the slider on the fins.

I would look for a manual, It should explain this in there. Other wise maybe in the back it has a trouble shooting section ?

I thought I had better update this problem, I had to turn it up high originally but once the meat was really well frozen , I was able to turn it down to 6 and may be able to go lower yet. I am loving the large fridge, lots of room for every kind of beverage and tons of food.

I found with ours 7 was a good number. It kept everything well frozen, but tomatoes and lettuce still made out ok in the fridge. I tried 6, and the ice cream melted a little. It was right at the top of the freezer though, and this was on propane. I will have to look for some sliders or something in ours. It is great for the beer, but veggies can get borderline freezing. Everybody has to make sacrifices, right? I can live without a salad!
