Re: Norcold Fridge Model N305R not cooling bottom
Update: I turn the 120 electric off and did the non scientific regulator test, it did fine. I left the fridge on LP gas after the LP regulator test. It has been on LP gas for 5 hours and the fridge temperature increased just 3 degrees from 27 degrees to 30 degrees! I think it is fine, what's your opinion?1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Norcold Fridge Model N305R not cooling bottom
There is NO WAY a RV refer will get to -10 degrees. That was the temp on the back wall of refer with the IR THERMOMETER. We only have one refer THERMOMETER and it is in the food compartment. The THERMOMETER in the food, lower fridge compartment has staying dead even on 28 degrees all day! I don't know if it matters but our Norcold Model number is N306R instead of the N305R I posted earlier. Do you know what the difference is between the two models? I did blow out the flue tube earlier with the air hose, compressed air. I don't have anything to measure the LP pressure(11.5), but the range burners are working as usual. I am about ready to try the fridge on LP again? Anything else I need to do?1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Norcold Fridge Model N305R not cooling bottom
OK, here is an update. When we got home from dry camping yesterday morning, we plugged the camper into 110 outlet and turn the refer on. This morning everything is working perfect, the freezer is minus 10 degrees and the cooling bottom is 30 degrees. What do you want me to check next? Do you think it could be the tstat for LP? I assume that I have an LP problem only? I was thinking about turning off the LP tanks and disconnecting my LP line at both ends and blowing it out. If that don't fix it, I may need to replace my regulator? We looked for a cooling fan and there is no cooling fan nor has there every been one. Which is a good thing since 90% of our camping is dry camping without electric. Just so you know, while dry camping last week I disconnected my 12 volt batteries and the LP to the refer stayed on. Thanks!1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Norcold Fridge Model N305R not cooling bottom
If after 24 hours the refer is NOT below 38 degrees and the freezer is NOT below 10 degrees, your cooling unit is BAD. We were actually freezing ice in our freezer to put in a cooler for our food while dry camping on LP. Could the unit be bad and still freeze water?1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Norcold Fridge Model N305R not cooling bottom
Thanks Doug! You should have HI -MED-- LO settings on the gas knob. Thats correct and I saw the flame go from LO to Med and Hi as wife turned the knob through each setting. I actually put a small cordless fan inside the lower vent while we were dry camping last week and it didn't help. With The upper vent off I see an angled piece of wood to divert air toward the cooling unit, I will have to remove it to look for a fan. We are back home now and hooked up to 110 AC power so I can try more things. By the way, my IR THERMOMETER seems to work on the back side of the freezer showing minus .01 degrees. It registered -8 dry on LP while camping.1.4KViews0likes0Comments
