Norcold 811 turns off

I have a Norcold 811 that shuts down after 2 days running freezer gets cold ref.gets then the temp. starts to rise. I tuned it off then back on then it will start running again? This on 120V.
I just turned to gas mode to see if it will run on gas. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Ours has done this and it was the eyebrow control inside. We took it apart and cleaned all the connections and it's been fine for a month or so now. It surprised us as the controls inside looked like brand new with no visible sign of poor contact anywhere.
  • When this occurs are you getting any fault codes?

    ON led light should blink to indicate a fault
    *ON Led flashes 1x every 3 seconds------Back up operating system....test thermistor resistance,,,,,,30-32K @32*F
    *ON led flashes 2x every 3 seconds------Mode switch failure...replace optical control
    *ON led flashes 3x every 3 seconds------AC heater failure....resistance 38-53 ohms,,,,,,if tests OK then power board
    *ON led flashes 4x every 3 seconds------Controls failure.....replace power board
    *ON led flashes 5x every 3 seconds------No cooling detected....power board, obstruction in draft, cooling unit blockage
