Need a can of "Magic Smoke"

Where can I get a refill of the magic smoke that escaped from this circuit board for my Notcold Fridge? :-)

Maybe I can drain some from the new BB and drip it into the ckt board?

Unfortunately, they didn't install a port on that board so there is no way to refill it😁😁😁

Due to new EPA regulations, canned smoke is no longer available. Looks like a new board is in your future.

You can buy it on EBAY (limited quantities still available), but you'll need the flux capacitor (version 2) to help refill the smoke. Don't get the version 1, there are reports that they only work refilling blinker fluid.

Since canned smoke has been determined to cause cancer in laboratory mice, it is no longer available, and your only solution is to replace the Not-So-Cold with a Residential Fridge.

Note: This solution also solves the problems people run into with the Dynamitic Exploding Fridges!

That would be my solution too. Highly recommended unless you have a TT without batteries and inverter!

Unfortunately, once an electrical device has lost its smoke, theres really no way of putting the smoke back in. It would be kinda like putting the toothpaste back in the tube.

Boy, I'll second that! Ron, ya see that outlet in your first photo above that says "Inverter Power"? THAT's where you plug in the new Samsung refer.

Here's mine... Diplomat Mods

I would check with Dinosaur Boards.. now they do not sell "Magic Smoke in a can" but they do have Magic Smoke replacement kits for many Control boards in an RV.. I do not know if they have one for your fridge but their Furnace control kit was much better than the OEM and the water heater boards are good too.

My Magnum Energy ME2012 just let smoke out of one of its circuit boards. That magic smoke is just technician crack. You can tell a real Electronic Tech when you ask them to look at something and the first thing we do is smell it.

I love the song, Who let the Smoke Out, Who Who.
