LP and 120 have the same BTU's for cooling. BOTH work equally the same. That said.
1. The operating AC voltage is 112 to 122 volts. BELOW 112 volts the 120 heat Element will not get hot enough to do the job correctly. ALWAYS monitor your Line voltage inside at a 120 receptacle with a DIGITAL multitester. IF below 112 volts switch to LP, until the Line voltage comes up
2. LP is affected by a dirty burner AND LP pressure. IF the LP pressure is below the 11.5 standard operating pressure, the performance on LP also will not be good.
Now, to your Norcold. Turn the refer OFF for 5 minutes. Turn back ON and let run 24 hours. IF the refer is not operating correctly and doing a normal correct cool down, you should get a fault light and alarm. This is called a NO CO fault(NO COOL). Only Norcolds have this feature. Doug
