Hot Norcold
We have a Norcold 1200 side-by-side refrigerator and we have replaced the thermistor and will replace the fans tomorrow and still seem to have a cooling issue. Any ideas on what to do/check next?

Like I posted earlier...Norcold OEM t-stat senses Condenser Fin temps (condenser is top finned component in outside compartment) and starts fans at 130*F condenser fin temp and stops them at 115*F condenser fin temp
Nighttime ambient air temps are typically cool enough that condenser fin temp would NOT get hot enough to need fans
Daytime temps...FANS are used to increase volume of air flow across backside of cooling unit. Higher volume of air movement....better heat removal.
This is why I run that 2 wire jumper anytime I replace a CU or the fans. That gives the customer the option of running those fans 24/7 to get faster/quicker/ recovery and cooling. The MORE air you flow over that condenser, the better the refer will cool. A 1200/1210 in a slide room, those fans will almost run 24/7 due to no roof vent and just a side vent. Doug
