Hmmm. Bruce appears to be right about this. What a chintzy thing for Norcold to do!
Yworrydog, do you have a Norcold refrig, or the Dometic unit that TM used to install? I don't recall that the Dometic in my previous ('02) TM had this problem. I haven't tried the Norcold in my '06 this way, but with no thermostat, I would expect to experience what Bruce experienced.
By the way,
BEWARE! WARNING! On the Norcold, the freezer door's spring-loaded hinges are REALLY wimpy. They break VERY easily if you try to open the door below level (or put a heavy hunk of frozen food on it), and are kind of expensive to replace. I really liked the Dometic refrig much better in many ways.
