Here is some random stuff I was saving before my Norcold gas problem was resolved by the service bulliten:
Great info!
Yes, this sounds like the same thing Norcold told my service tech
(I think I referred to it as the "interface" in my recent messages).
I'm looking at the Service Bulletin now.
It is titled N300 LP Mode Troubleshooting.
The reference number is: TNCSTP 081804.
The first page just shows a flow chart of
potential causes and the second page is entirely devoted to
testing the interuptor. Assuming this is the problem with my
(our) N300's, is there any way that you know of to keep this 'film'
from building up, or is it just a by product of fumes from the burner?
Maybe some of that liquid wire insulation you see at the hardware store??
=================================================
Just wanted to let you all know I gave my service rep. a copy of
all the correspondence that has been going on here lately.
He found it very interesting reading, guess we should start a new business!
(Don’t’ know if that is novel writing or a repair shop) Anyway, with that
note, I have received a “NORCOLD Service Kit” – which consists of
two wires…and repair instructions. NORCOLD - suddenly produced a
publication stating:
“Purpose of this kit is to repair NORCOLD N300 model refrigerators
that do not stay lit in LP mode.” (what an understatement!)…
anywho - the ‘kit’ is labeled
“N300 Interrupter-Selector Switch Wire kit” Kit part No. 628119
(Pub. Part No. 628120 (3/05) – (note the date!!!)
I’m back out to the cabin to replace the wires that keep filming;
with these wires in the ‘kit’. My service rep. stated that NORCOLD
has admitted to using the wrong type of wiring in these N300’s.
We’ll see if this fixes the problem. However, not so sure since
reading that, yours Jim, lasted eight days – then went out again.
Check the film on the thermocouple. I’ll let you know how the wiring goes.

I have a pdf for the Norcold service bulliten, but I can't figure out how to attach it. I'm pretty srue I pulled it off of the Norcold site.
