Twowhlrcr Report post Posted December 29, 2014 Good evening, I'm helping my Father In Law troubleshoot his RV refrigerator. It works great on A/C. When in gas mode, we have a good flame but the refrigerator only works intermittently. When it does work, it's very cold. My first question has to do with the flame itself....is it either on or off? What I'm saying is, is there a high and a low flame or just one flame? Like I said, we have a good flame but I'm lost after that. I appreciate the help.

dickandlois Report post Posted December 29, 2014 Twowhlrcr, Welcome to the FMCA Forum! The Flame is set at one level. Could you post the model number of the Norcold unit for the group? There might be some dirt build up in the burner and flue area, but having the model number will help. Do you have the manual for the unit in question? Rich.

wolfe10 Report post Posted December 29, 2014 To add to Rich's questions, when was the last time a "burner area tune-up" as done. This requires no parts and addresses a number of things that can cause failure while on propane: 1. Clog in propane jet. 2. Dirt, rust or insect nest in the burner tube. 3. Improper gap or carbon build up on the ignitor/thermocouple Complete instructions may be in your refrigerator owners manual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twowhlrcr Report post Posted December 31, 2014 Guys, thanks for the input. I didn't do enough research and had the wrong manufacturer of the refrigerator. Also, we found some issues with the electrical of the trailer near the battery and fixed all of that. The refrigerator worked earlier this afternoon on LP. It's plugged into A/C power overnight tonight and I'm taking it to the dunes the next couple days. I'll give you a full report when I get a chance. Thanks again, great forum!!
