If you insist on replacing parts, you will end up with a lot of money spent and still no operation.
1. Your Model has a HI HUMIDITY switch, usually between the Lower and upper Freezer doors. THAT switch usually corrodes out after a number of years. It has a ON with Humidity heat strip ON and ON with the Humidity strip OFF. with a MIDDLE stop. IF that switch corrodes out and the UP or Down does NOT send the 12 volt signal, the Refer appears DEAD. MOST common fault on Old this type model Norcold. You bypass or replace the switch.
2. Until you get a Volt meter and verify that you DO have 12 volts on the back side 12 volt input wire, you are spinning your wheels. If NO 12 volt on that wire, you have a 12 volt fuse at the fuse panel for the RV bad.
3. HAVING 120 AT THE REAR RECEPTACLE MEANS NOTHING. The refer controls operate from the 12 volts of the RV. Doug
