My reefer has always done the same thing at a setpoint of 34* continuous. It won't do it on lower settings somewhere around 20* or lower. I thought it was a problem until I talked to a thermoking mechanic and he explained how it was just modulation and the unit is working like it's supposed to with the temp varying from the setpoint like that. Another way you can tell it's just modulation is to set it on cycle 34* and watch to see if it does what it's supposed to - pull down to 34* and shut off - if it does then it's fine.

If your trying to get the temps down try unhooking the trailer, if this works problem solved hook it back up and see it maintains the new temp, another option I'd try is check the grill on the fridge motor sometimes if you get a high pressure water hose and shoot some water through that if there's a build up of dirt in there can help fix things too, my thought is if is summer time this is whats making the trailer not cool to well specially if its an older trailer that is not that well insulated. Although if its still getting down to 36 ° that's still pretty good. Its only if it was not cooling at all that I'd be really concerned. Failing that if your still concerned then its best to call out a fridge mechanic.
