Norcold 1200LRM fails to power on.

[mwstratton]

Hello,

I have a new to me 2005 Winnebago Voyage with a Norcold 1200LRM fridge. The previous owner said the recall had been taken care of and it appears so as there's a box in the maintainence area with a wire that has a 2011 date attached to it.

Anyway, here's my issue. When I picked the coach up and drove it on a short trip the refer worked fine, however now when I try and turn it on I get nothing. If I turn my aux. batteries off then back on I can press the on/off switch and the screen will turn on and begin the start up procedure then shortly after (2-5 seconds) it will turn off. I checked the F1 fuse and it looks fine (not split). I plugged it into the house power but the same issues are occurring. When my house batteries are on I have no issues with any of the lights/fans, etc in the coach so it appears to be an issue that's just with the refer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm getting ready to roll out on a 2 week cross country trek here in the next couple days.

Thanks!

Wes

If you do a search there is a way to reset that box with a magnet. But first you have to lake sure there is no leaks in the system.

Yeah, the box lights up on the recall box, then once I recycle the power it obviously turns back off and then once the fridge tries to start again it'll come back on.

If this has to do with the recall would Norcold foot the bill for the repairs? I spoke with a guy at Camping World (I'm not a fan of their service department however) and he said I could bring it in and it'd be $60.50 for diagnostic and even if it was a repair that Norcold would be liable for I'd still have to foot the diagnostic fee, which is kind of silly to me if it ends up being Norcold's issue, I think that should be their responsibility.

Is the RED LED on the recall box ON? Doug

Yeah, my coach batteries are on and I have 2/3rds a tank of propane which is on. I ran the stove for 2 minutes so there's no air in the lines. I've tried it with both the genset running as well as providing power directly to the fridge itself from the house and nothing.

It just seems to lose DC power once I turn it on but I'm having no issues with anything else running off the house batteries, the lights and 12v appliances are functioning fine.

To run your fridge needs 12vdc to run the electronics so make sure your coach batteries are on. It also needs either 120v shore power or LP gas. Are these all present?
