Re: Norcold N611RT not cooling in either AC and LP modes.
Yes, the trailer is level. So upon my return, I'll check the AC outlet behind the refer and the 5 amp fuse as well. I'll attempt to start it in LP mode and wait to see if things progress. If there's anything else you'd like me to try, I'd love to do so. I had read somewhere about "resetting" it, but I believe that's if an error code of some sort occurs. Something about jumpering some pins on the control board. Thanks for all the help. I'll be sure to post the results I get.2.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Norcold N611RT not cooling in either AC and LP modes.
@opnspaces, When on LP and the flame is lit, the orange light is solid. It just seems to not be cooling. I'm sure I waited long enough. As Doug pointed out, I have felt coolness in the back of the freezer in a very short time when using it in the past. Just not this past weekend. @Doug, Thanks Doug, I'll pickup a 5 amp fuse and bring it with me next time we go. If a cooling system is "broken", can it be fixed? If yes, what components are typically needed?2.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Norcold N611RT not cooling in either AC and LP modes.
I'll try and answer your questions as best as I can. @cavie, There's only the one switch and two lights. The switch is either AUTO, OFF or GAS. In AUTO, I assume it tries AC first, then GAS last. The only colors I've ever seen on those lights are green (ON) and yellow\orange (GAS ON or Flashing). As for the AC power in the back panel, I haven't tried plugging a light into the outlet to test it. I will do so when we return. I did however flip the breakers. As for the 15 amp fuses, I only see one that has anything to do with the fridge. I assume that fuse is good since the lights turn off when I pull it. I errorenously assumed the fridge had AC power since the lights were on, not realizing the battery powered those lights. @Lynnmor, If the cooling system has failed, what types of components could\would need to be changed? @wing_zealot, I do have a battery and it appears to be in good working order since I had to boost my van with it on our last trip. ;-) (off the trailer of course) @dougrainer, As part of my troubleshhoting, I did flip the breaker which is probably what stopped the flashing LP light when in AUTO mode. Makes perfect sense. For the 5 amp fuse, I didn't have one, nor did I test the existing one. I'll bring one along on our next visit. If the 5 amp was bad, would I get an LP flame? For the 120 fuse, is that the same fuse (15 amp) in the trailer's breaker panel, or does another fuse exist elsewhere? As for your last question, I do have a flame on LP operation. Thank you for all the replies. Rick.2.7KViews0likes0CommentsNorcold N611RT not cooling in either AC and LP modes.
Hi, Model Norcold N611RT I'm sure the answer to this problem exists somewhere on this site, but I figure it might be quicker to ask. Before leaving the trailer on our last trip (two weeks ago), we left the refrigerator on setting #1 in AC mode. This had previously kept the fridge cool between past visits. When we returned to the trailer last Friday, the fridge was warm. The green LED was on, no other LED was lit. We had confirmed that a power failure occurred in the park. (This may or may not have something to do with our issue.) I turned the switch to the off position and turned it back to auto. The green LED came back on, as well as a flashing orange LED. This made sense since the LP gas line was shut off. If I remember correctly, I again turned the unit off and unplugged the fridge at the back panel and plugged it back in. I then returned inside and turned the switch to auto. I believe the orange LP light stopped flashing. We waited for a long time, and nothing cooled in AC mode. So we then turned the unit off and opened the LP gas line. I returned inside and turned the switch to GAS. We waited again for a long time and nothing cooled in GAS mode. I do know that in GAS mode, I can hear things happening. At the back panel, the unit starts (flame and all) and I believe I can hear venting. The last time we used GAS, the fridge seemed to cool quite quickly, but yet no coolness inside the fridge and freezer areas. It was quite hot out this weekend, so maybe that's a factor? The power panel fuse seems OK, but I didn't check the control board fuse. I'm thinking the control board fuse is fine since the unit appears to start in GAS mode. So if I troubleshooted things appropriately, the unit doesn't appear to cool in any mode (AC or LP). Power to the control board and fridge appears to function well. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Rick.6KViews0likes13Comments
