Norcold 1210 Cooling issues
So, we have a 2016 Jayco Eagle that we bought new in 16 and it has the Norcold 1210 refrigerator in it. We have used the unit extensively over the past 6yrs with no issue. We are currently at the beach halfway through a two week stay, and I noticed the other day that the fridge was not as cool as usual. Pulled out the trusty temp gun and sure enough, it was 48-50 in fridge, but the freezer was where it was supposed to be at 0/-2. At first I thought it may be the heat because it's been extremely hot and the fridge side faces the beach sun most all day. But then I also noticed that only one side/half of the fins had any condensation and the one side of fins was 32-34, while the other was 48-50. Hmmm ?? I then decided last night to switch to gas and see what happened. Woke up this am to a 39 degree fridge. So the issue seems to be while the fridge is on electric. Anyone had this issue before that can tell me what is wrong or what is going wrong? Thanks for any help.677Views0likes1CommentRe: Switching to Dish from Direct

On DirecTV I could go in and put in my zip code and get my azimuth and tilt. I'm not seeing that in Dish settings? Use either DISH Pointing Angles or you can download pointing guides. Thank you!626Views0likes0CommentsRe: Switching to Dish from Direct

I have seen some post that they have had issues but I think it might be trying to get the Wally activated while connected to a portable. There should not be any problems connecting a working Wally to a portable (dome) and doing the check switch. Technician said the same thing just a bit ago. Says I need an eastern arc 1000.2 or 1000.4, and to make sure it's not the hybrid one as that is for the Hopper system. He didn't have any extra or he would have gave me one off the truck. He said I should call dish and they MAY come install it for free at the lake lease. I'll see what happens when I call.626Views0likes0CommentsRe: Switching to Dish from Direct

When we get to the RV park I hook up 2 HDMIs, 2 power and 1 coax and ready to watch TV. O and the 2nt Joey me buddy takes to his 5er next door. Could not be easier. Sounds like a good setup. We are at the lake lease every weekend from March through mid November, so I will have a stationary open face dish there. No need for the Hopper, as I just need a regular receiver and no need for DVR service. May pick up a tailgator or playmaker for the 4-5 times a year we pull out for travel.627Views0likes0Comments
