NORCOLD 8662 ISSUES NEED HELP PLEASE

my Norcold reefer quit working. it has a new board installed. the problem lies with the heating element. the heating element gets hot but pops the main breaker. is the element bad or is the thermistor possibly causing the problem. please help. ThankYou. DUANE
  • I would get the element. It is sure to happen again when you are on the road. Cheap insurance.
  • I got the reefer running I moved the heating element around several times and un plugged the thermistor and no circuit breakers blew. its ice cold and I plugged the thermistor back in so will see if it blows the breakers. still not sure why its working
  • Likely a short in the element. Easy fix. Pull one out, unplug the two wires, push in a new one, plug up the two wires. Done.
