Reinstall the Refrigerator
CAUTION: The rear of the refrigerator has sharp edges
and corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working
on the refrigerator, be careful and wear cut resistant
gloves.
WARNING: Make sure that the connections of the
exible intake and exhaust pipes are completely sealed.
Make sure that the “O” ring seals are not damaged. If the
seals are not complete, exhaust fumes can be present in
the living area of the vehicle. The breathing of exhaust
fumes can cause dizziness, nausea, or in extreme cases,
death.
1. Attach the exible intake and exhaust pipes to the vent
terminal housing.
2. Attach the DC connections to the terminal block.
3. Put the AC power cord into the receptacle.

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 ow through the refrigerator cooling
system is not blocked or decreased.
- If no cooling is occurs after about eight hours, contact your
dealer or a Norcold authorized service center.
