Norcold Compressor Unit Dies

[chaco]

My little Norcold Compressor Unit died on the Weekend
Can not even go in to how this effects the progress of Projects on H-Dock
Checked all the simple things...120V breaker / thermostat....even switched
over to 12V just to check power on that side :nerd:
As anyone has had one of these units quit working....please help us out on
the causes and repairs. Cold beer is right around the corner

Happy Refrigeration

Chaco, what did you do to fix...

Hi Chaco/Dan,

I know this is an old thread, but I am having trouble with our Norcold refrigerator, and am wondering if you were able to repair yours? It seems that the compressor is still running, but the evaporator plate/refrigerator is not getting cold. My guess is that I need to recharge the coolant gas, but I know nothing about these refrigerators, including how to get access to the mechanical parts in our 1984 E30+.
A local RV repairman said he could fix it, if I could bring it in to him. But it seems that to remove the refrigerator from the boat, I would have to take off the whole counter top, which is more than I can or want to do.

Any advice or tips?

Thanks,
Frank
