Norcold fault code :no co"
« on: March 27, 2017, 03:12:08 PM »
HELP!
Last night the refrigerator started beeping and showed a fault code "no co" which means the cooling unit stopped cooling. Has anyone experienced this ? Model is a 1200LRIM

Thanks

Dean,
Don't know solution to this fault condition. Try on both gas and AC. In meantime get a couple of pieces of dry ice. 1 in reefer and 2 in freezer will keep contents cold/frozen. We used this solution for about a week when ours died in the TX summer.

I had the same thing happen when we first bought our coach. Cooling unit was bad and we had to replace it. Same one you have 1200LRIM Norcold. I had a new cooling unit installed with an $1800 bill.

Dean,
 I will attach a link to reset the Norcold "no co" fault code. I have used this before.
If you successfully reset and the "no co" repeats, I would look to have the Refer serviced.
I was soundly chewed out by a Service Rep. for resetting my "no co" 3 times before taking in for service.
He stated that I was literally playing with fire.
It turned out that my Main circuit board had failed and required replacement.

Same here with our '04 Monterey.  I replaced the circuit board with one from Dinosaur Electronics.  It was easier than I thought it would be.  The replacement board was more "robust" than the original!

i just got a diagnosis from a tech and it's a bad cooling unit. It was leaking ammonia, which i had caught a whiff of a couple of days before! If you smell that, get it checked!

Wish i had bought that warranty from BCS now...  :-\

Consider a residential unit; e.g. the Samsung 18Cu Ft. 4 house batteries handle mine with no problems and it sure beats the absorption unit.

I replaced my Norcold cooling unit with the Amish cooling unit, which is more substantial 4 years ago and mine runs 24/360 with NO PROBLEMS!  Henry

If you decide to replace the cooling unit go with a Amish unit for about the same price. The better choice is the Samsung residential,  much larger. Only  costs 1200 bucks plus install ( which will be higher) because it needs some cabinet work to install. No more norcold fire danger. Most who do it wonder why they waited. ;)
