Refrigeration Failure

If the refrigerator does not cool, it does not mean that the cooling system is defective. Other items which effect the refrigerator
operation may be the cause of the problem.
If you notice a loss of cooling, do a check for a failure of either the electric or propane gas controls as follows:
- Change the energy source of the refrigerator.
- If the refrigerator is operating on propane gas, change it to electric operation.
- If the refrigerator is operating on electric, change it to propane gas operation.
- Operate the refrigerator for several hours.
- Make sure the refrigerator is level within 3° side-to-side and 6° front-to-back.
- Make sure the controls are in the correct position for the energy source in use.
- Make sure the gas pressure is 11 inches Water Column (10.5 inch Water Column min. - 11.5 inch Water Column max.) and the
voltage is 120 volts AC (108 volts min. - 132 volts max.) (on model 323 only, 12 volts DC, 10.5 volts min. - 15.4 volts max.)
- Make sure the air flow through the refrigerator cooling system is not blocked or decreased.
- If no cooling occurs after about eight hours, contact your dealer or a Norcold authorized service center.
