Norcold Refrigerator No Cool Fault Reset
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 вер 2023
- If a Norcold refrigerator control board senses a NO COOLING situation, it will lock out the fridge and the board will need to be reset. This is how it is done on this particular board. There are several different boards and the reset procedure is different.

You will be glad to know that I saw this refrigerator about 4 weeks later and it is working fine. Win Win !!!
Oh just bought a 2005 Dutchman Denali and this is the fridge I have. This is also what my fridge is doing. I will try this to see if it works!!! Thank you !
Thank you for this. Such an easy repair saved me from taking my camper to the dealer. Just needed to know the procedure. Thank you!
Your video helped me greatly, same model norcold, though mine didn’t have a 16 position on main circuit board, had 10 on a lower connection and 6 upper left, but my position 15 was on top board 5 in from left, i grounded that for 5 seconds and heard the propane trying to light, turn fridge off and back on, on light is not flashing error code anymore and fridge is working fine. I had tested the thermistor prior to this, thermistor tested good, glad i found this video! Thanks again
,
Thank you so much...we were able to get our fridge up and running. You are the best.
Just watched the video. We have all done what you you did. I laughed with you not at you. Can't wait to try that on my unit when I get back home. Thank you very much!
Thanks. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for leaving in the DC to AC part. Helps us all learn.
Glad it helped.
Great video on the reset procedure. Thanks for taking the time to shoot this. You can also check amps on the heating element wires to see if drawing about 2.7 amps when running.
Thanks for that info.
It's a Friday. Just replaced orifice last Wednesday. Beautiful blue flame and not sputtering. Pulled it down to 0 degrees. Turned control to auto, gas took over because 3 flashes started after a while. Restarted once, which is all your allowed to do, and 5 flashes happen and it's locked out!!! We leave in 3 days for a trip!! What to do??? Called up 2 different rv places. 2 weeks out to even look at it. BOTTOM LINE. You saved our trip. I'm a retired electrician so I had no problem with your procedure. I don't know what it would have cost if an rv place fixed it!! I don't know where you live but would sure like to send you something for this. THANK YOU.
Wow Kenny -amazing you figured that out. Got a good laugh out of " norcold have your people contact my people" -lol!
Would you believe they never contacted me.
Great video. I’m going to try and fix my N611 refrigerator myself.
I am gonna try this on mine, thank you sir! God bless! Heck with norcold lol
Hello from the quiet sunny Ozarks Kenny! Another video of value! Hope your having a great day and enjoying the weather. the resetting issue is one reason i replaced my norcold for a magic chef residentual frig. I didnt you hear you laugh when the board made funny noises! tight line and bent poles!
They can make a lot of noises.
N611 . . . It was running great for a year but then quit.
Could be the NM summer heat is too much and the cycle is disrupted by a fault.
I found page 21 in my Service Manual and will try the reset, and just not run the unit in Summer. 102 deg out there right now, but its a 'dry heat.'
Thanks for the refrig reset video. It worked fine, the steps were clear.
You are welcome
I commented a few weeks ago. Sorry I couldn’t find my comment to reply on. Just wanted to let you know that I tried this method and it worked beautifully. I appreciate your video and the info!
Awesome
Great educational video. I save the video because I have a Norcold in my RV.
Cool. Just do tell Norcold.
@@hillbillyrv
😂😂
As alway great video. I have also forgot about switching the meter between AC and DC. Last time I had to deal with with no cool it was after a major wind and rain storm.
I wish I had a dollar for every time I have forgotten to do that. Yes, it seems like they will lockout for strange reasons some times.
Good video as always. Appreciate you taking the time to put them up and sharing with us all
It’s my pleasure.
Another great job by you and another happy customer.
It is still working too.
Good info, had a great Labor Day with the Misses, hope yours is great as well my friend
I worked on firewood all day. It was a great Labor Day.
You never cease to amaze me. Don
Thanks a lot Don.
Good job Bob!
I have the other control panel that was on page 37. I cannot find the pin to connect to and cannot find that manual in the internet. Anyone can help with that?
Great video as always Kenny!
Thanks Patrick.
Thank you..
It’s funny that the factory doesn’t want the owner of the equipment to know how to reset the fault. I personally don’t see it being a safety issue for the owner. If they keep trying to reset it, might not be good for heater or cooling unit, but it’s probably already bad, if that’s the problem. I’m sure you had to pay for training to become a factory authorized service person. Thanks for sharing the secret. I have always worked for Mechanical Contractors, never factory shops. It has always been an issue to get OEM manuals. The internet has made it easier, but some brands are pretty tight about information.
Back in the day, I just signed up for an account and poof, I was an authorized service center and dealer. Things were easier back in olden times.
6-15-24 will be trying to reset only mine is is a N621 . Let you know if it worked.
Cool
Is there a reset procedure for the Norcold 8ndc fridge, getting error code 88 on a brand new installed fridge under warranty(cooled for 4 hours after replacing).
I have no idea. Don’t have a lot of DC fridge experience.
Thanks, appreciate you replying and I enjoy your videos.
Great video Kenny thanks for the info 👍
Thanks Corey
Excellent Video! Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome
Goodstuff Kenny.... Job well done!
Thanks Greg.
Great video. One of the most frustrating feelings: Trying to get a reading on AC while your meter is set to DC.
Lol. Tell me about it.
Hi, I have the Norcold 611 that is no cool and have a solid Green light. I didn't know I had a problem until I took out the milk for my cereal and it was warm. Any ideas and where can I get that Norcold manual if possible?
Try contacting Norcold. I doubt if the paper manuals are still available. They are going the way of the dinosaurs.
Your videos are extremely helpful
Glad I could help.
@@hillbillyrv hopefully this works on mine I’ve noticed mine blinks a total of 6 times so I’m hoping the hard reset does the trick
Another Great diagnostic repair.
👍👍👍👍
Thanks Frostie.
Mike Thompson RV in Santfee Springs Ca.wants $215 an hour to diagnose a 1210 norcold that isn't cooling and quoted it would take TWO HOURS to do that. That is $430 and haven't even started to do repairs. The cost could be between $3000 - 4500. Thru you tube I founded it was the thermistor $18.86 was the cost.
Awesome....don't tell Mike Thompson RV....ha ha@@vincentgonzales8917
Great video Kenny thanks so much Jeff
You are welcome Jeff
Help....my refrig suddenly stopped working....the power light is on but it doesn't flash.the outside chamber is hot and I have power at the plug what does this mean
It can mean many things. Too many to diagnose from here.
@@hillbillyrv ok thank you
I learned something new today after everything has went bad in my refrigerator and freezer after I just went grocery shopping 🤬😡
Sadly that is usually when the fridge will fail. Years ago we had just bought a half of a hog and our deep freeze went out on Sunday afternoon.
Would this be a potential fix for the 6 flashing lights? The manual doesn’t mention 6 flashes, but it happens and is currently to happening on my fridge which is the same as the one in this video. Great video.
This video covers this board on an Norcold N611 fridge that had 5 lights blinking. If you have another model or the same model and getting 6 blinks then this video does not pertain to your fridge.
Very informative thx
Thanks Tina
Thanks for your help dude !
No problem
I reset my N611 according to your video, it worked great for a couple of hours then quits again. I’ve reset it about 5 times and it does the same each time, just starts to get cold and get my hopes up. What’s next?
Thanks for your videos.
You actually probably have something wrong with your fridge. Might be time to call someone in your area to check it out.
Might be a stupid question but do I have to have a battery hooked up to the trailer in order for the fridge to operate properly?? Is there a circuit that it detects when the battery is hooked up and that completes the circuit?? I’m new to this and I don’t know much about it…. But I have the exact same fridge and it’s doing the exact same thing and I don’t have a battery.
The fridge requires 12 volt DC to run the controls whether that comes from the battery or the power converter, it doesn't matter which.
@@hillbillyrv thank you I will get a battery and hook it up because I can’t find a power converter anywhere…
@@hillbillyrv thank you I will get a battery and hook it up because I can’t find a power converter anywhere…
Thanks for the education
You are welcome.
I have a n611 and on the board there are 2 different pin plugs , one is at the top left corner and the other larger one is on the bottom middle right side, the green light is flashing three times and then a three second pause, what pin do I use to reset it?
That is a completely different board. I don't have a video for the reset on that one.
Do you do this plugged in?
yes
Thank you so much , got me going with your video
Awesome. Don't tell Norcold. 🤣
What does 4 flashes mean very helpful
Not sure
It would be so nice if you would have a close up on how you were using the short wire to ground and connect it to the white pin or wire.
I could hear. But couldn't see what you were doing.
I'm just a rookie older woman that likes to learn but I'm a visual learner.
I like that you just go to fixing without a lot of chatter & think I could have followed you of I could have seen the board but the entire board was to dark.
The control inside was lit up but when
I went in and checked the fuses and put it back together the inside & the control buttons would not light up no matter what I did .
I've had the black cover where the fuses are off before & am very careful but have no idea what's wrong now!
I just need my fridge to work!
Sorry, there is only so much I can do. There is not always room for me and the camera to work. If you have no display inside then you have a different problem than this video covers anyway.
Good stuff Kenny!
Thanks
Thank you so very much❤
You are very welcome
Where did you get that book from??
Norcold
I’m smarter now than I was 17 minutes ago 😃
LOL....Awesome
I use the fine tipped probes for my multimeter to access refrigerator terminals/pins. Great video!
That probably works.
A mechanic friend of mine showed me how to “back pin” plugs with those T shaped Pins. They are sewing pins, but I don’t know the application. Just an idea.
I think i would make myself a jumper out of a test lead just for that, especially knowing it's difficult to reach. I don't know but Derrin may make you one if you ask?
It’s difficult but not impossible. Sometimes I get it on the first try.
Is there no way to first just show a close up of the spots the wire will be touching . Possibly using a thin screwdriver to point out the two areas !
I could do this if I knew where the wire needed to be touching.
Just asking.
If you have the same board, I explained which place in the connector is the correct one. If you have a different board then this video does not pertain to you.
Hi Kenny, Great video. Our Norcold is an N611 but it has a 10 pin instead of 16 pin on the panel. Do you have any idea how we could do a reset on that?
I haven’t done one of those in years. Have you searched for videos on those? If you can’t find anything email me and I’ll look in my book. I think I have the reset procedure in there.
Can I also get the reset for a 10
Great video
Thanks
Great video sir
Thanks
get er done..outstanding.
Thank you.
Mine seems to not be on and flashing 10 times im at my whits end
10 is a lot. Have you googled that?
What color is the wire I ground my book seems un helpful
I think you said in another comment that you figured it out.
Thank you so great
😁
When I do this, the fuse blows right away on back of fridge everytime...what keeps causing this? Light blinks 5 Times, trailer and fridge are level.....would love some assistance on this issue please
If the fuse is blowing, the current is exceeding the amperage of the fuse.
@@hillbillyrv I appreciate your reply,thank you. I've gone up to 15....I don't know what the max is I can go with these.
Got it you said it in the video
ok
Mine isn’t cooling but no fault indicator lights flashing. Do the thermostats give out frequently?
Don’t know of any thermostats on these fridges. There is a thermistor and a bunch of other electrical and electronic components.
What do i ground out? 15 or 16 ?ffs
If you have this same exact board you will grind which ever one I said in the video. I don’t remember. If you have a different board this video is not for you.
Get one of those hats that looks like a little umbrella!
Sure, that should work.
Is there a reset process for a 1210
Probably but not sure. The only ones I have done are 600 and 800 series Norcold refrigerators.
@hillbillyrv thanks Kenny your are a super instructor
Thanks for the video! I was searching for this topic. I think this is what’s wrong with my refrigerator in my 2006 Winnebago View. I had the Serpentine belt break on the interstate on a very long bridge in the middle of the night. Waited for Good Sams wrecker to show up but they never did. A friend showed up in his pickup and pulled me 30 miles home. After all that is when the refrigerator started the 5 light blinking. My manual says to use a 22 awg jumper wire but I haven’t been able to find that kind of wire. I don’t have any experience with this kind of stuff but figured I’d try to DIY it. You made it look easy lol! If you could tell me where to find the wire it would be much appreciated.
What book did u use ?
Norcold service manual.
Kenny, you are awesome! Question, is this the only code that needs a reset, or are there several issues that require a reset?
I think the “no cool” lock out is the only thing the reset will help with.
I have model N811F. It quit working but has a solid green light. Any suggestions?
@@hillbillyrvforgot to tag you.
There are many things that can wrong with these refrigerators. Hard to say. @@toddsmith8608
I’m having the same issue with mine. Solid green light and the bottom of the freezer will get cold to the touch. After a while it will be hot again.
Hey thanks...did u leave battery connected for this test?
Yes. I thought I went over that in the video. Sorry
I am experiencing identical problem (n code) however I do not have that style pin in that location on the board. It has much fewer wires.....is there more than one style board perhaps ? My white/ violet wire is in a different connector up to left of board.....thoughts ?
Yes, there are at least 2 different styles of boards. You can't use this video for anything except the exact same board that is in this video. @@user-ry6wz2bz8c
@hillbillyrv ok thanks a million
.
I will continue looking for videos that show my type of board...
I've got the 811 and no blinking light, it's solid green and no cooling. It's throwing me for a loop
It’s probably a different problem.
Different problem from what? You reset it but didn't say why the refrig isn't working !!!!
@@susanvillarini7763 This fridge had a fault code yours doesn't. You probably a different problem from the one in this video.
@@hillbillyrv ok is there another video ? Everything seems fine except it suddenly quit. Power cord source good, components are hot and I can hear it running. Could it be freon? I don't use propane bc of a leak so it's on electric. Any thoughts on norcold N81X model
@@susanvillarini7763 If you had a leak, it's done. It is not freon it is an ammonia based coolant and even the smallest leak is catastrophic to the fridge.
No cool? Well DUH!
Ha ha
I hate those covers, stupid design.
From what im seeing and hearing lp refers are going away , soon you won't have to
do this procedure but they'll be another one for the 12volt junk there building now.
Nice work.
Those covers are completely stupid. I am not impressed by the 12 volt refrigerators.
