Norcold 2118 frig error code li-op.

I just got my Montana 3402 w/ a Norcold 2118 refrigerator. Only had 5 days and today got an error message on the front panel of "li- op" says it is the high temperature limit switch problem. Is there a way to reset? Thanks. Brink
  • these high temp boxes are terrible, Think they are on revision"f" maybe now. I have an "E" and my red light came on with the frig turned off, overheat when off, yea right.....

    Contact them tomorrow AM......
    Keystone warranty....PLUS Norcold warranty

    Probably bad electronic in box.
    Only Norcold authorized service can verify/replace

  • NEW or USED RV??? What YEAR????


    High Temp Limit Switch......OPEN

    Means that temp switch has detected a very high temperature at perk tube/stack. That means that fridge cooling unit has failed (blockage/crack tubing)
    OR
    High temp controller has failed

    But which one........real hogh temp or faulty device??

    Do you have a 'Box with RED LED light ON' in outside compartment?
    Can reset using a strong magnet.......place magnet against face of box and move back/forth until you hear 'click' and RED goes OFF
    This will restore 12V DC to fridge and allow operation


    BUT:
    CAUTION: YOU NEED TO VISUALLY INSPECT COOLING UNIT TUBING/BURNER STACK/BURNER AREA FOR ANY YELLOW RESIDUE, ANY AMMONIA SMELL-------THAT MEANS CRACKED/BAD COOLING UNIT
    DO NOT USE FRIDGE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FIRE HAZARD


    OR have an RV TECH Inspect and then if just faulty device vs bad cooling unit they can contact NORCOLD for replacement
