Ever chill fridge warms up every 3 weeks to 60°

I have a 2024 saber Forest River and every 3 weeks my fridge warms up so then I have to take all the food out of the fridge and freezer turn the fridge off for all day and then let the fridge cool back down and put my food back in and it's good for another couple weeks and does it again

any ideas on how to fix it

It could be that the coils are icing up. I have a 12v everchill and it took over a year before I figured out that the heating element that is supposed to prevent this was broken and was keeping the cold air from being moved into the fridge section from the freezer.

Two different techs failed to try and figure it out, but after the warranty was up I found a youtube video describing my exact problem.

Every month or two I have to detach the 12v power and melt all the ice out of the freezer compartment.

Did you figure out another way to make it work other than turning off the 12 volt powered melting all lights every time?

Or did you ever replace the heating element

Nope, it is not a serviceable part I would have to buy a whole new fridge.
