Norcold fridge

[back9tiger]

Mine decided it does not want to cool anymore but i hear either the fan or the compressor running. it is on a Sundancer 290 2007. This boat is becoming a money pit already. Any ideas on what it could be or how to check what it is?

Must be that time of year. Mine up on the cockpit has quit in the same manner. It is running but won't cool. I am kind of hoping it is just low on freon or something.

That's a bummer. Which one went dead? This seems to happen as often as the KEC dvd players crap out. And those norcolds aren't cheap! You get a nice home sized one for the price. If you find a fix please post for future reference.

Question, I never leave my cockpit fridge on when I'm away from the boat because it seems it gets so hot with the canvas up that it may work overtime. But I wonder if only weekend use to keep extra beer and food in is harder on it then running it all the time?? Any idea. My cabin one stays on 24/7 but its always cool in there.
