Well, I think I'm in the final leg of this issue...I've spoken to Senior Member Jerry Parr, and Richard, a retired mobile RV mechanic, in pursuing why our fridge wouldn't operate correctly. Jerry suggested I call Norcold and run this by them. I did and they said if the red light on the Recall Kit black box was on solid, then that box was probably bad. They said go to Camping World and order a new one for free. I did and now I'm waiting for it to arrive. In the meantime, Richard suggested connecting the two 12 volt wires from that box together...basically they way it came from the factory...I did and now the fridge works fine in every situation. I asked the Norcold rep. how long the Recall Kit boxes are good for...she said some last 10 years, and some much less. I think mine had a couple of different phases of failure, as the symptoms changed a bit over time, but I'm a happy camper now that I tracked it down to the Recall Kit.

Any chance it has a propane detector that actually shuts off the propane?

Still don't know what kind of rig it is so will not waste time guessing. It sounds like a 12V problem that occurred when the system switched from the converter to the alternator and perhaps popped a circuit breaker but really need more info.

Took me a while to get back to the storage yard where we have our RV parked. I've taken pictures of the fridge and some others I hope are helpful...unhappily, I can't figure out how to post them from my files. My thought is this is not a fridge problem, but rather something external to it...the power supply is disrupted to it when I start the drive engine. The code the fridge puts out when I start the drive engine is "no a/c." Why the propane supply would also be disrupted is a mystery. I can do some repairs myself if they're pretty straightforward, so would like to not have to take it back to a repair facility if possible. Thanks, Dan

AND the Model and Brand of refer. He appears to have a Monaco and that would be a 1200 Norcold OR a 2110 Norcold. Now one of his older posts indicates what the dealer told him about the 2 rear AC outlet plugs behind the refer. There are 2 plugs on the Back of the refer.
One plug is connected thru the Inverter and is dedicated to the Icemaker so you can make Ice when traveling and on Inverter. The 2nd plug is the standard 120 plug bypassing the Inverter to run the Refer on LP or 120. 120 when on Genset or Shore Power. It appears he swapped the cords per his dumb dealers recommendation. SO, that means when the Inverter is ON, his refer runs on 120 regardless when refer set to AUTO. The ONLY way to get it to run on LP is to go to the refer and set the refer to LP ONLY. Now, he states he has a problem when starting the engine and the refer goes haywire. That would appear to mean that he may have messed with the coach batteries or battery system. He also needs to state WHAT error codes are showing on the refer. There is NO interconnect on a Monaco between the Ignition ON or OFF, so that points to something wrong with the battery system. WE need a lot more info to help him out. Doug
