Norcold N81 now a "nocold"

Question

I was at our site at Lake Fork today &amp; found our Norcold N81 not getting cold . I am heading back over tomorrow with my meter/tools to check out.  The lights show I have 120/12 volts &amp; the burner will light but didnt have time to see if gets cold on LP. All I really know about absorption refrigeration is the pipe at the boiler should be warm past the tank. I didnt smell ammonia or see any yellow on the pipes. Its a 2011 so hoping just heater or thermistor.If its junk, would I be better off going Dometic or just get another Norcold ? What's the general thought?

Is there any error codes, or if no error codes, when running on propane is there just a pilot flame?

I found the problem, it got a small yellow/green stain just under the boiler so its a gonner :( Couldn't be something cheap like a heater or thermistor but still cheaper than a new one.
I am just going to put a rebuilt cooler on it. Will order tomorrow as there are 2 rebuilders near Conway, Ar.that I know about
