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 operating on shore power non-stop from the day I finally fixed the last problem. I went into the MH this morning and right away was greeted by the beep-beep-beep... coming from the NORCOLD frige. I found that the electric heaters had quit heating, but non of the fuses or circuit breakers indicated anything. I switched the unit to propane mode, it lit up, and apparently started operating on propane in normal fashion.
I checked the main NORCOLD circuit board and found a black soot area above the terminal blades where the black wires that come from the electric heaters connect. I pull these two wires off, and took a picture.
Has anyone seen this before? What might've happended? Any suggestions?

  • Well, clearly it burned up..
    I assume the lug was on the AC HT blade? Got a good picture of the spade lug? Looks to me like the lug/wire crimp went high impedance.

    If thats all it is, and it were me, I would wash the board down with Alcohol and an acid brush, dry, re-crimp, and try again
