Great to hear. please share the channel. e-bikes for RV travel are awesome as well.

Thank you for making this video. I have been in the same spot for five months with no issues. Two days before making a 2,000 mile trip, I got the code. Your video saved me a couple hundred dollars and valuable time.

This saved our trip! Going out to see family in California and we were about to head home. First our truck broke down and we were stranded for 4 days in an rv park. Then the high power sprinklers managed to spray water into our fridge vent. We were in a small town at this point so we had no where to get it fixed. Thank you so much for showing this! It is the only reason we are still going to CA.

I went through three of these limit switches over several years when I would go to a service repair shop for the recall. I finally bought one on Amazon that came with a plastic cover to help keep water off the board. That was about three years ago. Better than the factory type they give you on a recall. Helpful video!

Thank you very much for the right to the point hack. After a car was of my motorhome my fridge died. I visited 2 RV dealerships. Nobody had a clue of what to do. Your priceless advice saved my day!

What a life saver! I spent all morning doing meal prep to bring out to the RV tonight. After dinner we noticed the inside light was out and then noticed the whole thing was off. Thank goodness it was super cold today after a huge storm came through last night. We found the red light and searched KZread for ideas... where we found you! Luckily we found a magnet in our barn and was able to easily fix the problem! Saved all the food plus the pain and cost of taking it in to a dealer (which none are open tomorrow - Sunday and we go back to the city on Mondays so would’ve been totally screwed). Thank you SO MUCH for posting... and thank your wife for finding the answer on the Internet (like we did)! Safe travels! Steve, Marie & our pups Buddy & Kramer!

Ok, thank you for the information but with the limit switch tripped it cuts 12 volt power to fridge so turning it on is impossible.

Great reply, Thats why I made the video. Glad it helped you.

My wife and I cannot thank you enough for this video. Our fridge went out two weeks ago. You guessed it, we had our rig washed and detailed. As soon as the workers left, we notice the fridge had no power. I was sure we threw a breaker or blew a fuse due to water. The breakers were fine, and I checked every fuse three times. No blown fuses. In Branson, I set an appointment with mobile RV repair guy. He's due here tomorrow. Today we drove up to Springfield MO to get RV parts for several other repairs. Found a GREAT RV service/parts store: Thomas and Sons RV Supply. THEY ARE FANTASTIC!!! One of the parts guys listened to me tell my fridge problem. He said he thought he knew the problem; the Limit Switch (aka High Temperature Magnetic Limit Switch). He described what the device looked like. Because I'd spent so much time looking at the back of the fridge through the exterior access panel, I knew exactly the box of which he described. And yes, the red light was on. He told me the magnet trick. Stopped by Home Depot on the way home and bought a magnet. Got home, and being unsure of what exactly to do, I found your video on KZread. It was PERFECT!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I did what you said to do with the magnet. Heard the click. Heard the fridge turn on. Checked it. It worked in both propane and electric mode. Hot damn, our fridge is back in action!!! Next, I called the repairman, thanked him, and then explained we'd fixed the fridge. It felt so good to do this job myself. Thanks!!!! Bill

Hi, I bought my RV last year, I just noticed that my limit switch has no bleu and red wire (no in and out wire as you said). Only the ground and the sensor wire. I guess without any doubt this device cannot work properly if the is not electricity that goes in or out. What is the reason for that, do you any idea. If I plug a blue and red wire in it, is there a way to test it?

So I just went through a bad storm. The wind and rain was horrible. The fridge was flashing and I reset it. Seems to work fine now. Should norco still be contacted ?

Well, I went to Blue Beacon to get the rig washed last Saturday, replaced the ice maker in the freezer of my Norcold 1200LRIM, turned it on when I was done and guess what? It wouldn't turn on. Went around back and was 'blinded' by a red light. Istarted researching this on line and stumbled upon your video. Got my Big Larry in hand, reset the switch and all is well. We just got back from 5 1/2 months on the road and the fridge was working great. That being said I figured one of those guysat the wash must have sprayed up in the vent and got things wet. Great video. I subscribed. Where were you here? Almost looks like Blue Star or Lost Dutchman RV park in Apache Junction?

My referigerator wasn't working 🙄 again!

So I clipped off the connection and replaced the slide on spade connectors and plugged it in and Walla! It works!😀 So check this if your fridge doesn't work on AC.😁

Great info, thanks. I have had this issue with my fridge 3 times now, twice I have lost food. My issue is definitely water related- all times just after washing the RV or a very heavy rain storm. Does anyone know what component needs to be kept dry to avoid this error condition? I assume it is the burner assembly since that is where the single brown sensor wire is connected. Problem is I am not sure there is anyway to avoid water from getting in, besides covering all the vent holes- which obviously is no solution.

what model was this? compressor or absorption?

You said “if it’s blinking this won’t fix your problem.” What does it mean when the light is blinking?

Question for all that did this fix, My fridge quit working after some 70 mph wind and rain coming from the rear of my coach while parked and hooked up. That red light is on steady and not blinking. But also my display on the the front of the fridge is dead and the light does not come on when the door is opened. Could this be the same problem?
