Title: Fridge issue
Post by: garmp on June 17, 2023, 10:22:17 am
Our fridge sometimes shuts off when we first plug in to shore power. It'll run on propane fine while we're driving. Pull into our campsite and all is fine. Plug in to shore power and it shuts off. Red light shows. Hold down the power button till all is off, and a moment later press the power button again & it come right on and all is good. It doesn't always do this. It has happened about 4 times this past season and I can find no pattern or reason.
Any ideas? Now we do keep an eye on it and it is not a major issue, but I don't want it to get worse.
Thoughts?

If it's a Norcold, there is a control board with all the electronics on it. Could be a flakey component. Unfortunately, the only way to know for sure is to swap out the board. It's about $100.

Or better yet have Doug check it out at the reunion.
