2003 340 Cabin Fridge

[HappyOur]

Fridge stopped working on 120v but works on 12v
Upper helm fridge works on both.
Any ideas where I should start to look?

I recently had a small victory of sorts that I wanted to share with everyone. The galley fridge on our 2005 320 DA was not working on AC (worked fine on DC). After the usual checks of the circuit breaker and the GFCI I pulled the fridge out. I found the AC power went into a small box on the top of the fridge, and I saw the DC power went into a separate small box. I also noted that there was a small connection from the AC box to the DC box. Process of elimination led me to suspect the AC box was the culprit, so I pulled it out (after unplugging and turning of circuit breakers of course). I saw there was what appeared to be a small fuse on the circuit board within, so I hoped this would be the simple fix (I tested it and it had no continuity). I took the AC circuit board to a local electronics repair shop. The tech first tried to replace the fuse, but it blew again. He told me he wanted to try to order some parts in to fix it - if it works he'd charge $130 if it didn't work there would be no charge. Sounded like a fair deal to me since a new replacement board would be about $400, but they were no longer available from the manufacturer so I wasn't even sure I could find one. Anyways, a couple of days later he tells me it is fixed. I reinstall it onto the fridge and voila - our fridge is now working properly on AC and DC - drinks will always be cold!!

For the record (in case anyone is searching) the fridge is a Norcold model DE0051. The AC power supply is Norcold part number 169000500

I had a feeling it was something like that. It’s winter here (in NJ) so will get to it soon. Your description and photo help a lot, I now have a first plan for the problem. Thanks very much for a very detailed response.

posted that as a possibility and for future reference only. Hopefully maybe something simpler like connections/wiring/fuses. Good luck.

Be sure to check your GFCI hasn’t tripped. On my 320 the one inline for that fridge is inside a cupboard in the head (over the sink).

Thank you for saving my day, I will try it and if I still face any issue, I will update you by starting my own thread. Now, I will try to arrange money right now. I am not worried about it because I already found https://casinosanalyzer.com/online-casinos/echeck website link in which I found a lot of sites through which I can make a lot of money.

Your helm frig works on both? Mine only on 120

On my 320 both fridges run on both AC and/or DC. It might depend on your fridge model (mine are Norcold model DE0051). If you have a different model just Google it to find out if it is supposed to work on both.
