Norcold N821 not cooling
My unit (Norcold N 821) is original equipment (2002) and we spend 5-6 months a year in our 5th wheel. With coldest setting we are seeing temps in low 40's. Doesn't matter if it is on gas or electric...

First off.......
Bypassing the circuit bd and running fridge DIRECTLY on element with a 30.4*F temp MEANS cooling unit IS functioning
Bypassing circuit bd and fridge functioning means circuit bd is problem OR thermistor is bad
Unplug thermistor from circuit bd.....fridge goes in Back Up Operation....TEMP button controls cooling cycles.....1/short cycle 9/longest cycle
Run fridge over night with everything normal except for the unplugged thermistor. Use 9 temp setting
Fridge cold....thermistor is bad
Fridge doesn't stay cold..circuit bd problem
Old Biscuit, glad to see you have responded, you have bailed me out before, when I installed a digital thermostat if you remember. Just a question, I had to travel a few miles today so I put the cover back on the circuit board and put everything back to factory.
Maybe I need to add a little more information before asking my question. We are traveling so the refer is full and the freezer compartment also is full and frozen. I have put two 1/2 gallon jugs of ice in the fridge to help keep temperature down.
I know that the cooling unit is working but it is only cooling slightly.
I am only asking this next question because I don't have this clear in my own mind. Not questioning you, just trying to clarify the issue.
When I bypassed the circuit board by unplugging it, then making a jumper and plugging the AC heater directly into 110..am I not bypassing the thermister and all controls. I had read else where that doing the above should bring the fridge down to its maximum low overnight as there is nothing to stop the cooling process. Is this not the case?
Are you still in Arizona?
