2001 Monaco Dynasty refrig issue..

This model of Norcold called for the installation of a safety device to be installed. It's on a recall list. Now, if a better version that's offered by a separate supplier, brand ARP, was installed, it could possibly explain this problem.

This would explain a NORCOLD 1200 that shuts off, and comes back on later.

This is from the ARP website:

ARPrv

Your RV Refrigerator boiler operates at about 350 degrees all the time, but even a brief time off-level, like driving up a hill, can send that temperature sky-rocketing. Events like this produced a lot of thermal stress in the fridge boiler, stress that causes the metal to fatigue and the anti-corrosion chemicals in the coolant to deteriorate leading to fridge failure and perhaps even causing an RV fire. This is the reason for Dometic and Norcold recalls. The ARP Control can monitor the boiler temperature and automatically shut down the boiler if temperatures begin to climb out of normal range. Best of all, ARP continues to monitor and re-starts the fridge once it cools down again, so that your food doesn't spoil. And all without any effort by you!

Norcold 1200LRIM is notorious for bad cooling unit and is very sensitive to proper leveling, although Norcold says if you can comfortably walk in the coach, the frig should be ok. I had one in my coach and the cooling unit failed twice.

Can you please give us more info on what EXACTLY your problem is? As Doug commented, there is no auto shut off. If the problem is important, take some time to describe the situation in detail. Then you will get more meaningful responses.

Thanks. Let me get refrig info for you.
We are running generator during allowable hours, so batteries are ok.
At other thoughts?

How about make and model of the refrigerator,.....I've always been curious about things like that.

Yup, if too unlevel and you continue to run it, you will overheat the cooling unit and lead to its early demise.

No refer has an Auto shut off if unlevel. Doug

What do you mean by losing power. When on propane, your refer also requires 12 volt power to operate. Are you sure you haven't run your batteries too low while boon docking, before recharging. If the voltage gets to low to the refer, it will quit.
