Mine does about the same thing except it only goes up during the day to about 45.  I installed a small cooling fan onto the heat coil on the back of the frig. and a battery operated circulation fan inside the frig.  It works much better now.

I understand there are different sized orifices that can be installed in the gas burner in the Dometic refrigerators to adjust the cooling capacity. A qualified repairman familiar with these units should be able to advise you.

You might try getting some shade on the outside access door to your fridge . Do not cover the vent louvers . Just tape ?? a little awning above the door,big enough to provide some shade . these small fridges need all the help they can get on hot days. I learned this from an old fridge repairman in Wenatchee. Larry B.
