Hot Norcold

1993 MH.......23 yr fridge....that is pretty good service

Unplug thermistor leads
Set temp control to highest setting (coldest #9)
Place thermometer in glass of water in food compartment and a glass half full of water in freezer
Let fridge run for at least 12 Hrs
Check temp food compartment......should be below 35*F
Water in glass in freezer S/B frozen (temp 0*F or lower)

IF cooling unit is functioning correctly.....no clogs/no obstructions/no blockage inside the tubing

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?

although the condenser rear cooling fans are important in hotter weather that is not the cause of a 1200/10 fridge not cooling
My experience when the thermister goes bad it starts freezing food in the fridge- what do u mean by having a cooling issue? explain please
--is the control panel functioning?-- Is it level?- If the lpg is coming on and the rear cooling unit is getting real hot then its possible a blockage
If you hear a gurgling sound after a few minutes when the unit is run its because the ammonia has leaked out


also to note being a 1200 its getting up there in age unless its had a cooling unit replacement can rot out in the boiler area
being a 2003 unit the cooling unit is most likely shot(pluged)
or leaked out
