I'm sure you've checked...but having done this myself... are you sure you have 110 power to it and not just 12v?

I once had it where it gave (I think) that message and ran on propane... turned out that a breaker on my new inverter was off and I didn't realize it for two days.

Have you checked the 120V outlet the fridge is plugged into?

When you say there is power to the fridge, I assume you mean there is 120V power to the receptacle behind the fridge.

I'm not familiar with the 2-door Norcold models, but the 4-door models have a tubular glass fuse for 120V on the circuit board. I would be very surprised if the 2-door models didn't have the same fuse. On the 4-door models, the circuit board is under a black plastic cover in the back of the fridge.

If there is power to the receptacle and the fuse on the circuit board is good, the next thing I would check are the cartridge heaters. The circuit board could also be bad.
