Troubleshooting the Norcold refrigerator
The TM's Norcold refrigerator is the source of a lot of questions, misinformation, and occasionally some very frustrating problems. The refrigerator is particularly frustrating when the propane burner either won't light, or lights and then goes out as soon as the button is released.
Our member Commodor47 found a helpful article on another RV-oriented web site. With the permission of the site's owner, I retrieved the article, re-united the parts which had gotten scattered, and added a Table of Contents. Although the article contains some general-purpose information, it concentrates on troubleshooting the propane burner, and correcting problems that are found. The result should be easy and proper operation on propane. If you are reading the article in order to do some propane-burner troubleshooting, I particularly recommend that you click the link to the Service Bulletin - Checking for problems in LP mode, on Page 2.
The article, converted to PDF format, is posted in the TM Technical Library, "Trail Manor Information You Won't Find Anywhere Else".

And I know it hasn't been easy the last couple of months due to a certain forum member...but what a relief the past week must have been.....I know it's been a much more pleasant place to visit.

Yes, thank you Bill. We had a question a few months ago. The first thought was to ask "Bill". Not only did he research our question but made sure to follow up with us a couple of days later.
