Norcold Fridge question

Repairs and Maintenance

  • Russell Nesbitt

    My Norcold fridge is getting an error code "LI op", the high temp cut of switch shut off. The alarm goes off and then it will reset itself for a while. Sometimes it will work for hours and others just a few minutes.

    I see all kinds of videos about how to reset it with magnets, however mine seems to reset itself when I turn it off for a few minutes.

    I noticed that if I bump a brown wire from the switch (which leads to the thermostat), can turn the alarm on and the light comes on.

    Check out my photo of the thermostat, is this in the correct place? It seems like it should be more inside the housing.

    Also, I am running the fridge on AC (via my batteries) and the pipe that the switch is connected to is very hot to the touch (around 125 degrees). Should that be that hot?

    Any ideas will be helpful.

    Thanks.

    I've never own a Norcold but it's interesting that when you bump the brown wire the alarm comes on. It would lead me to believe that maybe there is an intermittent connection or solder joint. Does that black box come apart?

    It does have a cover, but it looks like it protects the circuit board. I am thinking it is loose wire in the plastic connector that plugs into the circuit board. I looked at it and I do not see how I could fix it. I would have to find another connector that matches that. Maybe I could find a new thermostat for this switch?

    What is the model number of the fridge? Maybe there is a service manual online that would have the part numbers to lookup

    Its model 1210. What I found was "Norcold 637360 OEM Temp Monitor". But this is the full kit. I guess if it keeps doing it, this is what I will need to get. I unplugged and then re-plugged in the brown wire. I am hoping that will help the connection problem. So far today, I have not had any problems. I run the fridge on AC when driving, maybe its a vibration issues going down the road?

    I saw that but I didn't think about why it was upgraded. I have that saved incase it happens again. Thanks for your help.
