With some other Dometec refers I pre loaded the bottom of the frige with bags of ice the day before after turning them on. I don't recall the lowest temps but it seemed to be about 42 degrees if I recall correctly.
The question is; do most of the Dometec refrigerators have just the one condenser to cool both the freezer and lower refrigerator?

Your reefer has two cooling coils.
When one or the other doesn't work, it tells you that the cooling unit has an internal restriction in one of the coils, in your case, the reefer section.
Some people try the burping routine, with little to ne success. That's removing the reefer, turning it upside down and leaving it that way for a couple of hours, and the return it to upright. Repeat that 10 to 12 times.
The restriction may free itself, and it may not. If it does free itself, your good to go, but for how long is the question, as the restriction can happen again.
Most owners, simply have the cooling unit replaced, or buy a new reefer.
