Wow Garrett that is a bummer. Hope the burp works. I am not giving any more
refer advice until I can get mine to stop smelling up the van.

Hello Group,
Lovely, my Norcold in my 2002 EVC just stopped working... will begin
troubleshooting this coming weekend.
The previous owners were meticulous with the EVC and especially with
the Norcold refrigerator. I was reminded that this is a $3,000
refrigerator! They actually spent THAT MUCH MONEY over the previous
five years!!! Every time they had a glitch, it went to the Winnebago
folks... and each time it was another $600.
Anyway... the weird and very troubling symptom is that the propane
will light just fine and the green light will remain STRONG and
happy. But, there is no cooling. Nothing. Ditto on shore power and
on battery... no cooling at all. It used to ice up on the aluminum
cooling fins. It was working GREAT!!
This is a rather vexing symptom because I am thinking that this means
a possible ammonia leak. Major BUMMER!!
On the other hand, I am HOPING BEYOND HOPE that doing the well
documented "burping procedure" (see archives) might just fix the
problem. Will probably give that a try first.
Any suggestions on troubleshooting this coming weekend? What is the
easiest and quickest way to see if the ammonia is all gone? Is there
any other explanation for having a good flame (on LP), but no cooling
happening?
One other question... I notice that there is a cooling fan in
operation on my 2002 EVC when the refrigerator is cooling... but, my
1999 EVC, the refrigerator is totally silent all the time. Did
Norcold or Winnebago add a cooling fan for the more recent years?
Thank you!!
