Norcold Refrigerator Not Working On 120v AC, But Does Work On LP

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Master tech Cameron tries to teach the rookie how to diagnose and repair a Norcold refrigerator that works on LP, but not on 120v AC. Is the refrigerator junk? Will we have to do a total replacement? Watch to see if we figure it out. Be sure to watch till the end for some outtakes.

    Thank you for this video. Saved me lots of searching for the answer to my problem. My fridge was giving error No AC, the LP worked. We had a technician out he did get the LP working. Nothing worked before he did a few things. I did change out the thermostat and that fixed part of the problem. Then the power cord. Still same error. Saw your video and saw where the AC fuse was blown. So I changed mine out to a 5amp, that blew after an hour. Changed it to a 7.5amp. Left it on overnight without putting it back together all the way. Was still working and cooling as it should. I've put it back together and have left it on. Thank you so much for helping me out in a very frustrating situation.

I say “pretending” as now that I have arrived home, and let it sit overnight, turn it on and it is not flashing its light anymore. I’m on the wait and see test of cooling. If it is cooling, I have the intermittent problem challenge! Thanks for doing these videos!

    Resolved my issue. Your clip also showed to test the heater which can rule out the problem of shorted out element. Now why is-did the fuse blow? I chock it up to a power surge from bad generator from previous owner as I have always used a inverter set or land line and never used camper more than a week so propane use was not a concern till we used over a a week and propane was being used at an alarming rate.

    Does the NORCOLD require a lit pilot light when in AC MODE ? Mine is a 1210SS and it works and cools in LP mode with the pilot light burning blue but when I switch to AC mode as I’m in a campground with a solid connection and the pilot light goes out and fridge stops cooling

    There is no pilot light on the refrigerator. Only flame on and flame off. If the 120 volt ac side is not working, there is something wrong with it. Figure out where you are losing the 120 ac power.

    My Norcold refrigerator works fine on LP, but intermittent on AC. On AC, it works for few hours then will turn to LP. I need to turn it off and on again to make it back to AC mode, sometime it holds on AC for another few hours but sometime it turns to LP immediately. I tried with different 120V source, the symptom was the same it means it was not external power source problem.

    May I ask you? My Norcold 3 way works on LP but only intermittently. It keeps shutting of and no flame after it appears to be working fine. I turn it on AC and it flashes HI AC. I took the control panel off and cleaned and did grease the connections. The control panel is giving me no warning when its not working,it thinks things are fine when the flame is out and my foods unthawing. The first indication of troubles I had were tge fridge area freezing food but I adjusted the thermostat and that problem solved but now this. Thanks so much! Control panel?
