Gas flame appearance:
While in GAS operation, examine the appearance of the gas flame:a
- Turn the gas control to the COLDEST position.
- Open the lower intake vent.
The burner box cover can be hot. Wear gloves to avoid burns.
- Remove the drip cup by removing the screw.
- Remove the burner box cover by removing the screw.
- Look at the gas flame [75] (See Art01605).
- The flame should be:
- a darker blue color on the inside of the flame and a lighter blue color on the outside of the flame.
- a constant shape without flickering.
- Contact your dealer or Norcold authorized service center if the flame is:
- yellow
- flickering or changing shape.
- Make sure the flame does not touch the inside of the flue tube [76].
- If the flame touches the inside of the flue tube, contact your dealer or Norcold authorized service center.
- Close the burner box door.
Remove and clean the burner orifice:
Your dealer or Norcold authorized service center must do this procedure.
Remove and clean the burner orifice (See Art00956):
- Close the valve at the propane gas tank(s).
- Push the ON / OFF button to shut down the refrigerator.
The burner box cover can be hot. Wear gloves to avoid burns.
- Open the lower intake vent.
- Remove the drip cup by removing the screw.
- Remove the burner box cover by removing the screw.
To avoid possible propane gas leaks, always use two wrenches to loosen and tighten the gas supply line
connections.
- Remove the flare nut from the orifice assembly [77] (See Art00956).
- Remove the orifice assembly from the burner [78].
Do not try to remove the orifice [79] from the orifice adapter [80] when cleaning. Removal will damage
the orifice and seal of the orifice and can cause a propane gas leak. Leaking propane gas can ignite or
explode which can result in dangerous personal injury or death. Do not clean the orifice with a pin or
other objects.
