RV Repair: Norcold Ref., Model # N641 IM, fuse panel, forsythe


Question
Hello Mr. Forsythe...
My RV frig just stopped.  The front controls went out and the frig shut down.  I checked the switches (on the back bed) and all are ok.  I don't know which fuses (in the front) to check.  I have no refrigeration so any help will be appreciated.  PS, the frig is 7 yrs old.  Also, I have had to shut everything off and move the RV everyday for the last week.  Maybe this might have tripped something?

Sounds like your not having any fun.
Norcolds need a constant good source of 12 vdc to stay running. They won't even run on 110vac without 12vdc.
That is best checked at the outside of the unit where there are two wires 12-14 gauge 12 vdc wires connect  to the back of the refer.
Those wires get their voltage from the converter/fuse panel and that gets it from the shore power/Batt.
Make sure you have a battery in the system or you can create an issue  with the converter that can damage the circuits in the refer or the charge module in the converter.
