We had a chance to hit the Little Cute One's favorite spring, near La Grande, OR. It makes a great bike ride, at over 5500 feet.
She is such a thirsty little dog. Why wasn't I willing to drink the water?

While working on my refrigerator problems, I removed a plastic panel to see what was going on. About a third of the condenser fins were clogged with dog hair. I was able to blow the hair out of the fins using a can of the pressurized gas -- sometimes called an electronic duster can. I had no idea there was so much dog hair there.
Of course the culprit was my second dog, Coffee Girl. In some ways I didn't mind finding this problem, because it was a reminder of a beautiful and loving girl.
It is also a reminder of how convenient it is to have a dog like a poodle, who doesn't shed!
After cleaning the fins, the air being exhausted by the fan became 15 F cooler. But I am still looking into adding refrigerant to the 7-year-0ld ARB fridge/freezer.

If the problem is electrical, the cooling cycle would be shorter/ running less often than normal, e.g. failing circuit board, thermistor etc....
Have you checked the wiring connections and/or tried running it with the 120v transformer w/inverter?
