2007 Norcold Refrigerator

I recently purchased a 2007 Jayvo Eagle with Norcold Model N811Rt frig down in florida.

I run 100% electric. It does work on gas I just don't use the gas feature.

The refrigerator is not as cold as Id like. I defrosted and after a time it was a good temperature... then seems to frost up quite a bit and then the temp starts going up.,

Its been off for the summer and now I'm heading down to FL to open up the trailer for the winter... I thought id see what ideas you all have on tweeking this unit to get it a consistent temp.

BTW- I gave a frig in my truck camper...going on 13 years old and it has never faltered.

hope some one can help. Tks, CWT

  • Have you measured? You should see zero in the freezer and 35 in the fridge.

    A fan inside helps even things out. They can take 24 hours to get cold. A small fan on the rear coils can help.
  • Replace it with a residential refer. There are hundreds of posts concerning nevercold, er Norcold refer failures and fires.
