Domenic 2018 Refrig adjustments

A Dominic DM2852RBFX refrigerator is freezing all contents in refrigerator section. What is to be done to prevent this and provide temperature appropriate for contents? This is in a Bullet Premier Bunkhouse Travel Trailer

Open the refrigerator (not the freezer) and in the back top you'll see some aluminum fins. On one side (usually the left) you'll find a blue and white decal. The top will be marked COLDER and the bottom will be marked WARMER. Attached to the aluminum fin you'll find a plastic sheath with a white wire. On the end of that wire will be a metal bulb. The metal bulb should be in the center of the plastic sheath and the sheath can be slid up or down on the fin to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator. It does not adjust the freezer temperature.

If your refrigerator is too cold, slide the thermistor down about 1" and wait 24 hours. If it's still too cold, slide it down another inch. Wait another 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize. If it's still too cold, move the entire sheath and thermistor to the next fin and place it in the center of that fin. Wait another 24 hours and check the temperature.

It's a "slow and tedious process" to get the temperature correct. Once you do, be sure to make a note of where the thermistor is located so if it should get knocked off the fin, you'll know where to reposition it.

Good luck and let us know how it goes. This is "just the first step and will probably fix your problem. If it doesn't there are more complicated steps, but they usually are not necessary.

Only correction is the thermistor and label are on the RIGHT side as you look into the fridge.
