Another norcold refrigerator question

First of all, I believe I finally fixed my leak (the shutoff valve for icemaker seemed to do the trick). Now my other question is how do I get my refrigerator colder? The freezer is good but the fridge doesn't seem to be very cold. I have it set on #9 (9 being the coldest) I'm sorry to ask all these questions but I didn't get a manual with my redwood, only installation booklet. If anyone can give me any advice in this refrigerator I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Go online and you can download the owners manual. I remember some on here that said to slide a thermistor or something up or down on the fins inside the fridge to adjust cooling. Maybe one of them with more knowledge of this will chime in

Norcold 4 door fridge

On our fridge - here in So. TX, we had it cranked up to 9 just to keep it cold until we traveled north... then we could turn it down.

We had a hard time keeping produce from spoiling regardless.

Eventually, we picked up some fans that mounted up on the top shelf near the fans. That helped tremendously in keeping it cooler!

What kind of fans? And where did you get them?

Any way to provide air movement inside an RV Fridge will help, even the little battery operated ones sold by CW.

I have the smartrvproducts fans and really helps in the hotter temps. Can make the fridge too cold when its less than 75-80 degrees outside.

If we had kept our 36RL that would have been an addon, but don't have to worry about it now.
