I have had 40 in the fridge and still cold enough to freeze water in the freezer. This is on the 3 to 4 settings on electric. This might be because Dometic on my model year placed a larger electrical heating unit, which in and of itself caused enough stir to warrant a recall, but perhaps that is why mine still works well in heat on electric mode.

I have often thought of placing a thermostat and fan in the flue to help get air movement, but with my fridge temps as they are, even in high heat, I haven't made the commitment.

One thing I think might help (if you have airflow) is instead of running on electric, run it on LP. You then will create better airflow as you will have a flame and the BTUs I think on LP are better than with the electric heating element.

Give it a try and see if it improves at all. I'd be interested in knowing.
