Just noticed something having to do with my refrigerator is recycling at (estimated) 5 second intervals. It still freezes and cools.This just started after my last trip about a month ago.Any ideas what could be the cause of this?GM

Grey,Make and Model of this Fridge, please.I trust it's a Two Way RV Fridge that works using LPG or 120 Volts AC from Shore Tie or Generator.Is this cycling on LPG, Electric, or Both?

NORCOLD 1200LRIMDBoth Electric from shore/generator or propane.Recycles on both sources.Just noticed that if I open the door, it stops.

That is the fans running. If it is cycling quickly, I would bet the thermal switch on the condenser fins is bad.

OK. Is that a quick fix or do I need to take it in to my fixer guy?

If it is in a slide out, with a top side vent, allowing access to the top, outside condenser fins, it is easy. Otherwise, the unit has to be pulled.
