Norcold Model 611 Fridge problem
My Norcold model 611 (2007) does NOT get very cold when it’s on gas; but works fantastic when it’s plugged in to the Shoreline. Any trouble shooting ideas that can help solve this problem??? Appre...
Check and clean the burner and orifice for any blockages, and ensure the gas pressure is adequate. If issues persist, consider having the gas regulator inspected or replaced.
- The newer fridges are much more sophisticated than the units I worked on when I worked for our family RV shop. I've not read up on how the current thermostats commands the flame to kick on and off, and I'm not able to comment on how to check out the operation and confirmation that the 'stat is good. Back then it was simple. But these few things are still valid:
- 1. Check gas pressure,
- 2. Make sure the burner and jet are clean and you have a good flame,
- 3. The flu must be clean and clear so heat can draw up and get a good draft
- 4. Make sure that the roof vent is clear.
- Rodents used to cause problems when they'd build nests in or above the flu outlet
I had a similar issue, found that spiders like putting their eggs in little "cotton balls" in the burner area. Cleaned those out and solved that problem by putting Chestnuts in the burner area. No more spiders.. In fact I have chestnuts in all my cupboards and passthrough. Maybe and "old wives tale" but it works.
