As mentioned, make sure you have BOTH 120 Vac and 12 Vdc. The control circuits need 12 volt and if it was unplugged for a while, the batteries could be too low...in which case, the refer is designed to light up, but not operate. (At least my '02 Norcold booklet says that). So add the time it takes the converter to charge the batteries up to 13 volt (I believe) before it starts working.
Ok so we need to connect 12v power to the camper to get the control circuts to activate. The camper has sat all winter and i dont remember if they told me it worked last summer(after it was hauled to its permanent location) or if it was a few weeks ago so this could be the issue, as i stated in my first post we have no other connections to the trailer at the moment other than 120v AC, that means no gas and no 12v, but i will check into putting 12v to the trailer and see what happens. i may only be at the trailer this weekend before i can check.
