1 1/2 year old Norcold fridge warms up.

[PapaD]

My Norcold fridge works fine for days then starts to warm up. I run the thermostat through it’s scale back to original setting and it starts working again. Any help on why?

Flacky upper panel/circuit board
Harness between upper/lower boards
Thermostat
Thermistor
Lower circuit board

I know...very generic answers but "1 1/2 yr old Norcold warms up" is very generic also


Model
On electric or propane or both
Etc.

Model - N64XIM/N84XIM

Only on AC but I don’t use LP much

It seems to be about once a week this occurs. It has functioned fine (plugged in 24-7)until we were on vacation and actually using it.

If it's like the Norcold unit we had in our Itasca, it goes through a warm up/defrost cycle every so often.

N6X/8X Models do have a limited 'defrost mode'.......all heat sources are shut off for 1-2 hours every 40-54 hours of operation (length of defrost and when it occurs depends on software in microprocessor in upper panel)
Temp in food compartment should not go above 44*F





DO you get a 'fault code'.........temp setting Flashing?

Do you know about the 'Diagnostic Mode' and how to access it?
See pg 63 of linked manual......screen 4 & 5 show stored 'fault codes' which may get a better idea of what is going on.

Most likely the periodic defrost cycle. There have been multiple complaints about how much it warms up the fridge.

norcold = nevercold

in that norcold=cold sometimes/warmed up


Put mine in the recycle bin and went residential Whirlpool few years back never not one single time have regretted that decision.
