Well, when your refer has worked flawlessly for five years and then the first trip out after the recall this problem occurs, the reason is probably a faulty reacall "fix". That's fairly obvious. If I had not gotten the recall done, I would not be sitting in my coach on a Sunday evening, having just gotten back from a weekend away, with a warm refer filled with spoiled food.

Go to the back of the fridge. Open the panel and you will see a red light on a black box. Place a magnet under the red light and it will go off and the fridge will come back on. This is what the mechanic did to ours. There is a problem with the recall box. We did this and never had another problem in a year.

Go to the back of the fridge. Open the panel and you will see a red light on a black box. Place a magnet under the red light and it will go off and the fridge will come back on.

Chunk it to the curb or replace it with a new coil that may or may not last. We went thru this and finally just got rid of the NOCOLD and went all electric. Most of our trouble was with the dealer doing it wrong. Loose fitting coil and no cooling. Had enough of that!!! I believe that a lot of recalls had to do with the incorrect install jmop Larry

The procedure is this.
1. Take it to a Norcold auth service center.
2. They will check for leaking ammonia and if NO obvious leaks will bypass the Recall control for 24 hours and check performance of the refer.
3. IF the refer performs to spec, Norcold will replace the recall box AND the tech is supposed to replace the Thermosensor also and Norcold will pay the labor to replace the kit and pay for the kit
4. The customer is out the .5 to 1.0 hour check out fee to verify the condition of the refer. We charge .5 hour check out fee.
5. IF the refer does NOT perform to spec on the initial check out, then WE charge another .5 to go into more detail and find out what the problem is. IF the problem turns out to be a Defective Cooling unit, we stop and advise the customer. NEW Cooling units from Norcold come with the recall kit.
6. If it is NOT a cooling unit problem but something else, the customer can then opt to pay and have us fix the operational problem.
7. Norcold will NOT under any circumstance allow a customer to replace the recall box or advise to bypass a tripped box. Doug

I found the information below by doing a google search. I don't know if this the final answer, but it looks that your code means you have something that you will have to take and get fixed.


"Norcold Book Fault Code shows "LI" "oP" meaning High Temp Limit Switch is open, not owner serviceable.

If you've had the most recent Norcold recall installed, go out and remove the external cover from the rear of the frig and see if the red LED is lit on the new high temp controller (black box). if so you need a new one installed. this is a very common problem, especially with the earlier versions of these black boxes used in the latest recall program.
