Norcold frig wire back panel

I went to turn on the refrigerator and it had the NO FLO error. I went to the back panel to see what the issue was and I saw this wire/fuse completely disconnected. Anyone know what this fuse is for and should I just connect these two wires? I got the refrigerator to work on propane now, I dont want to connect the two and damage something as I plan on using the refrigerator the next few days. I am not sure if this was intentionally disconnected from factory or service but this is a new camper.



Edit: I went to take a larger picture to see where the wires come from. The blue wire connected to the fuse comes from the top of the picture and the brown wire comes from the round part in the middle left of the picture.

Also, the wires are/were resting on the black pipe which lights the pilot. The refrigerator has barely been on for an hour and it is very hot to the touch. Something is telling me these electric wires shouldnt be sitting on it.

If someone has a picture of how these wires should sit I would appreciate it.

Sorry having issues uploading second pic, located at this link.

    IF you have verified that the BLUE wires are going to Thermostat on Condenser fin and then to fan as on pg 36

    Then Black with in-line fuse is the 12V DC POS (spliced to Blue wire to thermostat) and the Brown wire is 12V DC NEG (Grd) (spliced to Blue wire FROM fan)

    As per pg. 36 ....connected to +12VDC and GND1 on circuit board

    (blue wire)edit looked at pdf? (p47-48 of doc- the foil? do you have ice maker?

    Had similar issue, though Dometic, mysteriously a wire appeared, goes up to fan and had 'fallen' out of butt connector. Yours is different but noted where blue wires go up at the first yellow sticker, behind the white 'clip', looks like a terminal ?

    Huge picture but details can be seen....

    Odd that both brown and black wires come from blue-like a big loop. Wouldn't hook up anything until verified, some expensive equipment but agree should tidied up a bit until then..

    Is there a huge safety risk to use it as is until I can get it to a repair facility in a week? Refrig seems to work fine now.

    Edit: THe brown wire is coming from the thermostat. p36

    I did a search for Chris Bryant, not sure what to look for. Not sure on the model # but it is out of a 2017 Lance 1172.
    Correct on the NO FL, I fixed that issue.

    Judging from a quick search on Norcold, I am assuming no wires should be touching that black pipe.

    This would have eventually caught on fire if I didnt catch it.

    Black Wire:
    That is probably for 'FAN(s)'
    In-line fuse.....1A????


    Brown Wire:
    Would need to trace where it goes....


    But Black & Brown should NOT be connected




    'NO FLO' Error

    Did you mean 'NO FL'

    That would be no propane flame detected.
