    We have the same refrigerator in our 2023 Rockwood Mini Lite 2516s and the refrigerator won’t cool below 50 degrees. Dealer has to work thru Forest River instead of Everchill. Dealer was initially told to change out control board and compressor and then later told to only change out control board and compressor control board. Currently waiting parts. I wanted a new fridge but they won’t change out fridge unless latest proposed “fix” fails. I’m unhappy with Forest River and would never buy an Everchill. Good luck with yours - hope it is a good one.

    I have a NeverChill WD282FWDCB. It is under 2 years old and realistically only used for 45 nights of camping before it failed to cool. Removed the refrigerator and did some troubleshooting. Lipert provided me is a really nice troubleshooting guide and I diagnosed it to the Compressor board. This got the compressor running some of the time, but it usually stops cooling within a day and the compressor is loud when it tries to start. Basically I was told the compressor is bad. Now I have a $200 barley used refrigerator that is junk and Lipert won't even give me deal on a new one. Stay far away from these, as it seems to be common for the unreplaceable compressor to go out usually just after your warranty is expired. Shady business practices in my opinion. Trying to figure out how to best replace this with a different more reliable brand.

      Sorry to hear about your experience with it. Might be avoiding them in a future purchase

    Dang man, we only had our rockwood 9 months and our 12 volt fridge quit working. Notified the dealership and our NEXT appointment was 2 months out. Heck with that. I pulled the fridge out and went to home depot and bought a 400 dollar magic chef. Same exact dimensions, had to run a receptacle to plug the fridge in. Ran the wire to another receptacle which was connected to the inverter so it work while traveling. Bought door locks for it so the doors will stay locked while traveling. Heck with that 12 volt junk!! I went to the dealership that I purchased the rockwood from, guess what?? A couple in front of me was having the same problem with their fridge. Junk!! I wouldn’t rely on that much longer

    We've got the same refrigerator in our brand-new Forest River travel trailer. It's not blown any fuses but the fridge is not cooling properly. The freezer is at 0 degrees but for some reason the fan inside the freezer isn't sending any cold air down the wind channel into the fridge.....like yours, though, it's still under warranty so we're at the mercy of the dealership...thanks for this.

      Look at my UA-cam video on your problem. I had same symptoms and eventually added some fans to improve refrigerator ventilation to solve problem

      @@markeidson5264 Thanks for the suggestion. I have issues with freezing in my refrigerator as well. Waiting until I am stationary for more then a few days to get one or two of those fans off Amazon. Camping World never seems to have them in stock in store.

    We have had 2 Everchill refrigerators in our 2020 Forest River Avenger 27RKS go bad. Forest River the dealer are not willing to help us out. Both units did not last 8 months each. Do not buy ANY Everchill products!!
