I am at a campground and my temperature went up to 47° in the fridge and the fins were sweating. I had a spare thermistor on board and changed that with no help. I then changed the board since I carry a spare.. Now there is no lights on the eye brow panel. I took pictures and placed every wire and connection exactly like the picture. Thinking the “new” board might be bad I put the old board back in and still nothing. Any help or advice will be appreciated. Save your install a residential fridge comments please. Thanks in advance

Thanks it had power before but upon your suggestion it did not. I had power up to the Norcold recall box but power was not coming out. I temporarily bypassed the recall box and it is running. I will see if it starts cooling or just doing what it did before

Hummmm
Yesterday Recall Box had tripped....shutting down DC to fridge
You BYPASSED the Recall Box and restored DC to fridge but still NOT cooling down

Hummmm
Recall Box did what it was suppose to do......SHUT DOWN fridge due to overheating/high temp conditions

I would STOP running fridge.

Check for yellowish residue on/near burner area from leaking cooling unit

OR place Recall Box back into service...reset it using a strong magnet across face near top (CLICK/RED LIGHT goes out) and turn fridge on...see if Recall Box trips AGAIN

Recall Box was a band-aid fix BUT they DO work when cooling unit fails

Is this a replacement of the old 1200...I replaced mine the new one started what you are exp. went back to dealer they talked with Norcold and found they had not installed a sheet metal flu correctly needed on the newer models. They had to remove and put the flu in... just got back from gulf shores and it cooled great.., why this fix was not in the installation guide for the dealer???? Lol...GlenB

As I wrote above the fridge had power before I changed the circuit board. The Norcold recall box has no lights on and is not working at all. The magnet reset does not change anything. I know how to do that from my previous motor home. There is no residue. I am still trying to get cooling to occur
