The Dometic 10 Series refrigerator may not be cooling despite being on the coldest setting and showing all lights correctly due to several possible reasons:

1. Warm food inside: If warm food was placed inside, it may take time to cool and affect overall temperature.
2. Ice buildup: A layer of ice may have formed, requiring defrosting to restore cooling efficiency.
3. Door seal issue: If the door seal is not fitting properly, cold air may be escaping.
4. Dirty condenser: Dust or dirt on the condenser can reduce cooling performance and needs cleaning.
5. Incorrect shelf placement: Shelves and drawers should be positioned as delivered for optimal airflow and energy use.
6. Ambient temperature: If outside the recommended range (+15°C to +25°C), performance may be affected.

Check each of these factors to identify the cause.
