Norcold 110/ 12volt Model MRF40 refrigerator freezer cooler

It does not get cold the 12 volt DC side works as good as the 110 ac side there is 17.8 volts going to compressor condenser, I am not sure what the problem is

The next test is the Compressor Amp Draw

Which I got first reading of 1.68 which is in reason however it soon dropped to 1.28 then remained steady

For some reason when I left it alone to write this post it started getting cold I am going to get a thermometer to check temp with specs

Using a laser thermometer it held at 19 degrees

After letting it run for an hour I tested the volts and amps again I got 15.8 volts at the condenser and 1.64 amps
