    Round 2 of Norcold fridge breakdown

    1st outing didn't have a fridge from the start, got the code for over temp circuit open. Warranty replaced the "recall box", and all was well, for about a day and a half! 2nd outing (now), getting "no ac" code. Working on propane so not as bad as 1st failure where nothing worked. A quick search is pointing to heating element? Anyone have experience with this code?

    Look to make sure the fridge is plugged in. It may have come loose during travels, especially if the repair tech didn't plug it back in securely.

    All fuses are good, checked. AC plug is in, pulled it and reseated..still get the code. I didn't have a meter to check the outlet for 110v, but all other 110v sources throughout the camper are fine. I still will have to do this to establish it is the fridge soley. Problem is it's back in storage and quiet a drive back to troubleshoot. Then it'll be a warranty issue so once again I'll spend a day off in transit getting it to an authorized repair center. Oh BTW, I took delivery of this unit Jan 30 2016. Been out twice and have to go to repair twice..Hope it isn't a trend

    Update,

    Was able to spend a little time with the 350 this weekend, and when I had stated all fuses were good, it was only a visual check. The 8 amp glass AC fuse was bad, however it looked normal. At the time I didn't have a meter to do a positive check until this weekend. So, the Norcold is back in business. Keep some handy for when you get the No AC code.

    Glad to hear you are back up and running. Having worked around electrical for the last 18+ years you never can trust what a fuse looks like. I've seen plenty that you would swear were good be bad.

    "you never can trust what a fuse looks like"

    10-4 to that! And I new better than to assume, I was frustrated, ...and I have no luck so thinking it may could be bad even though it looked perfect and beautiful, ect..no way, it has to be good! hahha
