Why is my refrigerator suddenly not cold?
Clogged coils can cause poor cooling. Check to make sure nothing is stuck in the condenser fan and that it spins freely (models with coils on the back won’t have a fan). To do this, unplug the fridge and pull it out. Clean the fan blades and spin the fan by hand to see if it’s stuck.
Is there such a thing as a Norcold refrigerator?
AC/DC model Norcold refrigerators are fairly simple in troubleshooting. You will know that you have one of these models if the refrigerator has a compressor in the back (typically installed in boats and trucks). Most RV’s have gas absorption refrigerators and these can be more troublesome since there are more components that affect the cooling.

Why does my Norcold refrigerator never get cold?
The one in the fridge never even got cool. The “coolant” goes to the freezer first, then the refrigerator, so if there is inadequate cooling, it will show up in the refrigerator. Inadequate cooling could be due to extreme ambient temperature. Sun shining on the refrigerator side of the coach will inhibit cooling.
Can a Norcold refrigerator be used in an RV?
Most RV’s have gas absorption refrigerators and these can be more troublesome since there are more components that affect the cooling. The first thing to know is that the cooling units on every Norcold gas absorption refrigerator are gravity operated and MUST be level in order to run properly.
