refrigerator problem

336muffin · 06-29-2011, 08:28 PM

Fridge works great as long as we're sitting still, gas or electric. As soon as we get moving it's a no go. Neither gas nor generator semms to help. Everything is working just won't cool. We have two fans inside the fridge and we have tried rearranging things inside with no change. Outside at the back side are two fans and are working fine. the fridge is a Norcold 4 door with ice maker, i've checked the door gaskets and all seems to be fine. Fridge is factory installed in a 2005 American Tradition 42r on the driver side. Please tell us what we're doing wrong. this is our 4th class A so we're not new at camping and are stumped. Water column on gas has been checked and all volts and amps are fine. Any suggestions or questions are welcome.

Hi 336muffin,
We have a 1200 series Norcold too, what are your outside temperatures when this happens? Is your fridge in a slideout or do you have a roof vent for your fridge?

Has this been ongoing since new or has this just started. It sounds like you have either a bad 12 vdc connection that breaks open with vibration and or air leakage into the box.

Sorry about that, the fridge is not in a slide out and outside temps are in the 90's. I'll check the connections and make sure to check all grounds as well.
