SOURCE: norcold rv refrigerator freezer

Make sure the thermister is attached firmly to the fins in the back. The boards on a Norcold can be reset a service center familiar with this process is your best bet. It takes disconecting the board and then shorting it out best to leave it to some one who is familiar.

SOURCE: dometic rv refrigerator rm2652 not

Hi,

Many recalls for both dometic and Norcold have been issued in the past.There is a chemical called sodium chromate in the solution that circulates inside the cooling unit. It is there to prevent the ammonia/hydrogen/water solution from corroding the steel tubing. If a leak develops, this chemical changes from a liquid state to a powder in the presence of air. A yellow / green residue on the outside of the cooling unit indicates a leak. And the cooling unit is bad....... Also if the unit sat for a long period of time UNLEVEL then you could have blockage,the refrigerator depends on gravity to move the solutions through the system once the heat source has lifted the solutions to the top of the cooling unit. The passages that the solution must travel through have only a slight slope to them and any off-level condition will hinder this gravity flow.I would rather advise you to call the manufacturer and check if there is any recall. Unless, they could tell you the quote to change the cooling system. You could take a decision from there. A thumb rule - if the cost of the repair is more than half of the cost of the product, it is wise to switch to a new unit.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

How do i find the circuit breaker on a 2007 four winds hurricane motor home?

Look in the owners manual. I'm sure any relevant information regarding fuses is there.
If manual is not available, go to Fourwinds website and download owners manual there.
If not available on their website, contact a local Fourwinds dealer for the manual.

Ammonia lock not cooling

If the RV is level and the cooling unit is warm on the back then you will require a replacement cooling unit. That model is known for leaking just above the burner area. If it has leaked, you will see a yellowish residue around the burner area.

Refrigerator not cooling on electricty or gas

You will first want to ensure the RV is level.
If the RV is level, then open the rear access vent door on the side of the RV to access the rear of the refrigerator. Feel the coils just above the tank on the cooling system. These coils should be warm to the touch. If they are warm and the refrigerator is not cooling then you will require a replacement cooling unit. Also, the most common area for the Dometic 2652 to leak is just above the propane burner area. If it has leaked, you should see a yellow residue in that area. The cooling unit can be changed in approximately 2-3 hours with no specialized tools needed (Arcticold offers 7 day a week free tech support). The old cooling unit will simply unbolt and the new one bolts in. Check out ArctiCold Refrigeration We keep it cold (the highest quality product available) Arcticold New Cooling units come standard with a Lifetime Warranty. Install instructions are also provided with the cooling unit. Arcticold has locations across North America to provide fast delivery. Arcticold cooling units may be purchased over the phone (1-888-782-6665) or through Ebay- Dometic RM2652 Brand New Manufactured Cooling Units LIFETIME WARRANTY
