My 8 month old frig is not working (sometimes). I took it to the dealership and it worked just fine in their shop. There were never any error codes. The propane fired normally, and the electrical hookup looked normal. We paid $178 for the diagnostic, and drove away for a 4 day trip. The frig cooled normally. When we got home, we were tired and waited until the next morning to empty the frig. Everything had defrosted overnight (frig running on propane, propane firing normally, no error messages). So we took it in again this week and the same result. It worked fine for them.
The frig is a Norcold 121X, a gas absorption frig I think. In my research today, I found a reference to the fact that it won't cool properly if it is 6 degrees out of level, although it doesn't say anything about that in the owner's manual. The mechanic at the dealership did not mention this. The new parking place for the RV is on a slight slope. I am running a test right now, 2 hours after bringing it home to see what happens. If it doesn't make ice in a few hours, I will extend the stabilizer jacks and see if that fixes it. Has anyone else had this issue, and why didn't the RV mechanic suggest that that was the problem?
Feeling a bit frustrated right now.
