NORCOLD 1200 LRIM tech question...UPDATE 1
As some of you know, I'm familiar with several of the problems, and fixes, that have been discussed. My 1200 has certainly experienced a few. But, here's a new one: First of all, this 1200 has been...

Right away I could not see any burnt material that would explain where the soot was generated.
There are two heating elements, each one with one black wire and one yellow wire. The photo doesn't clearly show that I disconnected/pulled off the two black wires two black wires from the blade terminals which are to the left of the still-connected yellow wires.
However, I can't detect any burnt insulation from either of the two black wires.
I can test the two heaters by checking the resistance, and I will do that. But, I have no way to test the circuit board. It's the original board, therefore I feel that I should just go ahead and order a new one anyway.
I was kinda waiting to see if Doug would offer an opinion.
Thanks
I did not respond yet as I have never seen that before. My opinion is the relay box and or resistor next to it is the culprit. Regardless, you NEED to replace the board as the smoke has been released and you cannot reinstall the smoke:B Interesting that another poster stated he had the same thing and instead of FIXING the obvious defect, he let it go and then stated the unit caught fire and almost burned down his unit and then states he replaced with a residential. IF he had fixed the defect, he would NOT have had that problem later. The refer did not almost burn down his RV. HE DID, by not fixing an obvious problem. Doug
