Another thing to check is if the Norcold has a "climate control" switch mounted on the inside of the door. My Dometic has this and it is a 12 VDC heating element in the door to reduce condensation in humid environments. In the instructions for the dometic frig it states not to leave this switch on when operating in gas mode with no DC charging present.
Always check the battery condition before turning the frig on. Check with voltmeter. Even CO2 and propane sensors draw power and if left for a several weeks with no charge will draw down the battery(s). Make sure when the battery cutoff switch is turned off even those items are off. If in doubt disconnect the ground cable directly at the battery. Store RV with a fully charged battery.
Good luck on the detective work.
