Re: Norcold 1200 dead inside, flashing red light outside panel

That RED light flashing is indicator the 'recall box' has shutdown ALL 12V DC power to fridge

*Either because it did its job.....trip DC and stop all heating functions due to High-High Temp being sensed via the thermal disc on boiler stack.....temp in excess of 700*F
*Tripped because module got WET
*Tripped because the module failed


Real issue is WHICH one caused the trip????

Do you see any 'yellowish residue' around/on burner area....remove shield and inspect
Do you smell any ammonia?


Did you recently wash RV..spray a little water into fridge area via vent cover?

What Revision number is module?
(Look at REV # via open area---latest was 'E')


You can reset the recall box using a strong magnet
Place it against face of box at top and slowly move back/forth ----should hear click and RED Light go OUT
Especially IF you were NOT operating fridge and found it tripped.
Otherwise could be due to overheating caused by cooling unit blockage.
