Installation and Owner’s Manual 8
Refrigerator Maintenance Checklist
If you are not going to use the refrigerator for an extended period of time, put the thermostat to the “0 - OFF” position.
Norcold is not responsible for installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance performed by anyone other
than a qualified RV dealer or an authorized Norcold Service Center.
Have a qualified dealer or an authorized Norcold Service Center do these annual safety and maintenance checks:
- Make sure the DC voltage is 10.9 - 30.5 volts.
- The wire connections must be clean, tight and free of corrosion. If any of these items are not correct:
- A voltage drop to the refrigerator will occur.
- The voltage drop will decrease the cooling performance of the refrigerator.
Disconnect the positive (+) DC power supply wire from the battery before you do a “fast charge” of the battery.
Failure to disconnect the positive (+) power supply wire from the battery during a “fast charge” can cause
damage to the refrigerator or other 12 volt DC appliances.
Door sealing:
If the door does not seal correctly, excess frost will collect inside the refrigerator. Make sure the door seals correctly:
- Close the door on a piece of paper that is about the size of a dollar bill (See Art00980).
- Gently pull the paper.
- You should feel a slight drag between the gasket and the cabinet.
- Do this on all four sides of the door.
- If you do not feel a slight drag on the paper, the door is not sealing correctly.
- Have your dealer or an authorized Norcold Service Center correct the seal of the door
Troubleshooting
If the refrigerator does not cool correctly:
- Make sure the
power switch / thermostat is not in the OFF position.
- Make sure that the refrigerator is correctly installed and that the vents are not blocked.
- Make sure that the power source to the refrigerator is serviceable.
- Make sure that the fuse or circuit breaker is intact (See “Over current protection system” section).
- Make sure that the ambient temperature is not unusually high (more than 110° F. / 43° C.)
- Make sure that the door is closed.
- If the weather is hot, make sure that the door is sealing correctly.
- Make sure that the air circulation inside the refrigerator is not decreased by foods or by shelves that are covered with plastic, paper,
etc.
