Norcold NN611VRT issue running of electric

My Norcold shows a green light for about 2 seconds on startup (indicating running off electric), then immediately switches to amber (indicating running off propane). It runs off propane just fine. However, I'd like to run off electric (just installed 1600 watts of solar panels).

Norcold tech support  said this model automatically senses whether electric is available to run, there's no setting or switch to force it to electric.

Anyone else experience this problem, got a solution?

  • I am by far no expert on the workings of Norcold. My first thought however was are you sure the 120 outlet you are plugged into is working? As you installed solar are you trying to run off that system? Another thought to narro.w down the problem may be to plug frig. into a direct 120v line seperate from your camper. 

    If frig. works on seperate line then your problem would be camper related.
