Re: 2004 Windsor Monaco:MAIN SLIDEOUTS WONT OPERATE,Bedroom Does
An update. The slideouts have safety built in and only open when compartment doors are closed. Well, the plunger switches on doors were stuck due to age and not operational. I got them unstuck and the slideouts worked.527Views0likes0Comments2004 Windsor Monaco:MAIN SLIDEOUTS WONT OPERATE,Bedroom Does
So I have this 2004 Monaco Windsor RV. It has three slideouts: two opposed main room slideouts and the bedroom slideout. They always worked but I recall how every time we would struggle to remember what we had to do to enable the main room slideouts. This time we seem to be out of luck: the bedroom slideout works, the two opposed slideouts do not. Specifically, there is NO motor noise of any kind and the switches operate absolutely nothing. We did bring both driver and passenger seats all the way forward. We also closed all compartment doors. It does not help. Any ideas what we may have forgotten or how to troubleshoot it. Thanks2.5KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Norcold refrigerator "NO FL" code, propane burns fine
Alright, here's a very happy followup!!! I purchased a replacement board on Amazon. Took me a while to get my act together to switch it out. Finally I switched it and made sure that I reconnected all leads correctly. I am DELIGHTED to report that now the flame burns great and the fridge is working very well!!! No problem!!! It was the board!2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Norcold refrigerator "NO FL" code, propane burns fine

I feel that I am making progress, eliminating possibilities at acceptable cost, but still no final resolution. In that case, then you probably need to follow Doug Rainers instructions above. If you can solder and have the equipment that is... Good luck! Thanks! I will try to see how I can open up that Piezo tower. I can solder no problem.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Norcold refrigerator "NO FL" code, propane burns fine

IF the spark sparks and lights, then the Piezo tower on the board(where the spark electrode wire spade connects to) is defective OR (most likely) the solders for that Piezo Tower have ben broken loose. Doug Doug, sorry, I lost you here, if the spark sparks and lights, then the piezo tower is NOT defective, right? The flame lights up easily and burns well (it looks like it burns ok)2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Norcold refrigerator "NO FL" code, propane burns fine
Thanks to all. This is a followup. I have spent some time looking at this today. As I said, the propane fire lights up nicely, but attempt to ignite the fire continue and after a minute, the fridge shuts down with NO FL error. I have cleaned, and applied copper based grease to, the terminal for the ignitor. It did NOT help. Additionally, I took OUT the igniter head and cleaned it with sandpaper. It did have some crud on it. That ALSO did NOT help. Any idea what I can do further to fix it? How is flame sensed exactly? Thanks! P.S. I ordered a replacement ignitor since they are inexpensive and easy to replace. I will change it and report the results soon.2KViews0likes0Comments
