Norcold 1292???

[Speedjester]

I have a 2004 Newmar Mountain Aire.. And the last few outings here in sunny Florida the fridge and the freezer didn't cool very well..( outside temps in the high 90s).. I removed the outside cover and cleaned everything out..( a little dusty) but could not see any condenser fans.. I tried to look up further with a mirror but couldn't see any.. Am I missing something? Shouldnt there be condenser cooling fans?


Any info would be appreciated..Thanks in advance

There should be two cooling fans at the top of the cooling coils and you should hear them on a hot day and feel the draft up through the back vent area of fridge.
They get their 12v through a heat thermistor switch at top of cooling coils they have been known to fail at times.
You can place a 110 fan at the base of fridge floor pointed up until you can have checked out they will have to pull fridge to replace heat thermistor.
The fan plugged into 110 outlet should drop the temp's inside fridge.

007 are you sure there are fans up there? Can't see any fans .. Looking down or up..

If you have a Norcold 1200 series they need fans.

007.. Not sure if that is the same model.. As my control panel is located at the top of the fridge ...no digital panel.. Just series of lights.. (on/off.. Auto/propane... Check... Setting 1-5.)..I don't believe they make the 1292 anymore..

The fridge cools.. Wasn't great ... But got better when I extended awning and shaded back of fridge.... Would the fridge even function if the fans were missing?.

Are you sure its a 1292 Norcold I didn't find a spec for it.
Yes fridge should work, still put a fan bottom of vent opening 12v fan or 110 and see if it improves cooling.
OK Dometic will look for that hold on.
Still the wrong numbers here is the whole list at top.
Dometic's did not have fans but people have added fans on them on floor of platform for better cooling of their fridge.
