Frig on New Momentum

Picked up my new Momentum 354 today. The frig was working at the dealer and now at home it isn't cooling down. Only the freezer feels like its cooling. The digital display is on 9 and on both electric/propane. Please help as I'm taking it tomorrow to stay in for work.

    Thanks all, so it's parked now. Level, and it is working. My only other question is the fan's haven't stopped. Is this due to it being located in a slideout? I figure they would stop from time to time.


    The fans running a lot has to do with the outside temp and the temp on the fins in the back. We've spent quite a bit of time at Jojoba Hills Escapees park up the river from you in Aguanga and my guess is that it hasn't snowed lately in Temecula... (love your town, by the way).

  • What the others said....the freezer cools off quicker than the fridge. I turn mine on the night before we're going to load up.

    What brand/model would be real helpful

    Freezer does get cool FIRST...needs to be at 10*F before food compartment can really cool down

    On both electric/propane....not possible
    Either or but not both

    Controls S/B in AUTO
    If 120V AC Power is available fridge will operate on electric element
    If 120V AC is lost.....controls swap to GAS

    So brand/model and WHAT lights are on display panel??????
    Any 'fault codes' in display


    In the Momentum, it should be the 12 cu. ft. four-door Norcold.

    OP - as Old Biscuit and others have said, these absorption friges take a long time to cool down. If mine has been off, I give it 24 hours and load it with already chilled or frozen food. Setting it a 9 you might have some freezing on the fins in the frig, though. I don't set any higher than 7.

    Give it a few hours to start cooling. Freezer is probably smaller so it feels cooler faster. At least that’s how mine work, on my stealth and my last TH. BTW congrats on the new rig.
