Norcolc 1200 cooling fan

I have a Norcold 1200 installed in a 2005 Fleetwood Excursion 39S DP. We just flew into St Louis and got the MH out of storage. It was warm outside. Inside the MH and the refer according to the remote thermometer it was over 90F.

The refer is giving us problems. The refer will quit and the front control panel shows "NO CO". I've had to get inside the control box on the rear of the refer and reset it twice using a jumper between a ground point and the #2 pin on the top left of the main pin connection.

This restarted the refer, but then it quit again four hours later. In further internet research it was suggested to unplug the thermister, which we did and used the jumper on the #2 pin again. It started up and this time it has continued to operate longer than four hours. We'll go look for a new thermister tomorrow.

In further research it's suggested to check the OEM fan on the back of the refer above the coils. In looking the Norcold 1200 installation instructions, with pictures, it shows two fans when the refer is installed in a slide out to help push the heat out the top side vent. The pictures DO NOT show any fans installed when the refer is INSTALLED IN THE MAIN BODY OF THE MH and has the long vent hood directly above the refer on the roof.

So for those of you that have been into a 1200 installed in the main body of the MH (not in the slide) does it have a fan or fans on it that just doesn't show on my installation instructions?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Bill
