Thanks everyone for the information.
Old-biscuit, thank you for the manual.
The propane ignites on the unit, I can hear the propane engage and burning... I called Norcold and they suggested that I detach the thermistor inside and see if that helps any after eight hours of leaving it on the maximum setting.
I didn't realize that this refrigerator unit was so sensitive. Norcold said that it wouldn't operate if it was on a 6° angle.... it's parked in a storage lot at the moment, and I believe the angle was more than 6° so I took out my leveling blocks and leveled it a bit more. When the unit failed, it was completely leveled, verified with a bubble leveler... Front and back, side to side.
I called Northwood and they suggested that I clean out the burners because they might have gotten a little bit of debris in them and The burners aren't doing the job they're supposed to. I'm not really sure how to do this, because I've never done it before, the Northwood tech said use a vacuum? He was extremely helpful, and definitely seemed like he knew what he was doing. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to this stuff.
Where do I even begin to clean it? I will look in the manual, but if anybody has worked on this particular type of unit before, any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
I'm very dissatisfied with the Norcold product.... I've barely even used it (maybe 6 times if that) stocked it full of expensive groceries on our last camping trip to Seward, and woke up the next day to have everything completely thawed and ruined. Then we had to do without a refrigerator and freezer the entire trip. Major bummer.
