Norcold 1211 refer not cooling
I know there are experts on here who will probably have experienced this problem and fixed it. A couple of days ago I came home and the ice cream in the freezer was soft. Right away I realized something was wrong. At that time I also noticed that the fans were not running. They run continuously since new so I know there may be something to do with that as well. I have had the mobile service tech out and he has checked most of the apparatus but has not come up with the solution. The heating elements are heating, there is 12 VDC to the board, there is 12VDC going into and coming out of the safety gizmo beside the board and the led on the safety gizmo is not lit which the tech said meant it was okay. The temp set button, when pressed, flashes for 10 seconds which the manual says only that it indicates a fault that is not owner serviceable. Since the problem was first found, the fans came on for a short period of time but went out again. After being set at the coldest setting, 9, the two top freezing compartments have cooled down to 3F and 4F degrees but the cabinet is still near 50F. At the techs suggestion I have unplugged the thermistor to see if this makes a difference. So far it has not. Filling the bottom shelf of the cabinet with dry ice provides some cooling but I need a proper fix.
I'm in the Texas Rio Grande Valley experiencing 90 degree temps so solving this is paramount. Any thoughts on his a agonizing problem?
Thanking you in advance for your feedback.
