I am wondering if I have a faulty fridge.
I am now running at level 4 and the ambient temp in the fridge is circa 6.5c.
I know the weather has been hot but I would want the fridge to be runnning at 5c or below.
Is anyone else seeing this?
To check the temp I have a bottle of water in the fridge and drop a temperature probe in the bottle.

What range can you select?
On my T5.1 it was 5 in Summer 2/3 in depths of winter with a selectable range of 1-10.
 
I run mine at 3 or 4 year round (T5.1), any more than that and stuff freezes, but i get the impression that T6.1 owners with the digital camper display tend to describe it at 5 or 6. Maybe a different setting threshold for the T6.1 + multivan Cali?
What happens when you run it at level 5? so as long as one of the settings gets it below 5 degrees it is succeeding. It is a thermostat so once set should hold it there unlike a electric camping fridge only cooling to ‘x’ below ambient.

Range is 1-5.
Now running at 5 and is keeping the fridge at about 4 Celsius.
I’m going to drop a temperature probe with a log in the fridge and see what VW say.
It was 13c last night and 25c during the day, so not outrageously hot. I checked the fridge first thing and it hadn’t frozen anything and was showing at 3.6c which may indicate ambient temperature is the not really the cause.
I would love to hear what settings other people are using. My fridge is permanently on using solar panels to top up the battery, which even at setting 5 is taking about 2 hours of bulk charge.
