Norcold N611L Not Working
Ok guys -
My cousin purchased a wanderer TT - not sure of the year, and yes, it has some issues.
This one is a Norcold N611L.
Because of his generation, he doesn't like to chat on the phone and loves to text. Go figure.
Anyway, he's reporting the unit is cooling on AC but on on gas.
I asked him if when he's not plugged in are the Lights bright - thinking it's a crappy battery. He told me it was dim.
So I had him plug it into AC, and switch it to GAS on the Coldest setting. You hear a buzzing sound from teh back of the unit, but when he looks at the igniter, there's no spark. The gap between the igniter and the metal rod is a bit bigger than 1/8". I asked him to make the gap 1/8" - which is what I have had to do on my Dometic's in the past on my own rigs.
He then tells me the Power LED is blinking 4 times a second.
off to BryantRV.com and found the service manual and it's reporting the control board failure.
Tomorrow he and I will talk and I'll confirm:
1. Does it work on AC and cool Normally?
2. He's going to clean out the entire burner tube assembly - there's a good chance there's a web or two in the burner assembly.
3. Let me know if he gets a spark after he adjusts the igniter to 1/8" or so.
Any Suggestions I can pass onto him would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
