"Helping" isn't always about telling someone how to override a safety switch. The OP stated at the beginning he had been having lots of issues with the fridge. Given Norcold's history, unless I could see the unit myself, talk to the OP in person and assess the situation, I'm not sure I'd put myself out there with that kind of "advice". I'm with Doug on this one....and the spoiled food, Leo was speaking of...well if the fridge catches on fire because the switch was bypassed, spoiled food will be the least of his problems....
All that said, I'm sure Newman provided the OP with the proper caveats and provided him with a solution. The problem is sometimes people will simply say, hmmm..the 'box' is the problem, Newmann help me reset it but it's failed again. Why not just remove it..:E....that's what I mean by being careful of the help we provide....just sayin.....Dennis
And that was the point of the comment. He did NOT say he counseled the OP on the extreme danger of fire IF it was shut down on a real failure and not just a defective module. While there have been plenty of module failures, there have also been several cooling unit failures out there with people advising to just go ahead and reset it, which is about the stupidest suggestion there is UNLESS you know why the trip.
Neuman also sent me a PM whining about my comment, to which I replied (and deleted the 2nd). If he or anyone else here doesn't like it, too bad. I have been on other forums with the same question being asked and someone comes along with the magic magnet trick fix for the OP without any mention or warning of what to do or check once they reset a failsafe device that may or may not have failed. One day someone will reset a true failed device, there will be a fire, someone will die, and the lawyers will be looking for those "qualified" people to add to the lawsuit.
