Norcold Refrigerator Keeps Freezing Foods
The refrigerator continues to freeze the food. We have adjusted the temp probe up & down with no effect. We have had the setting set on the lowest # (1) and this is still happening. Any suggestions as to were to look and what the problem might be?
Thanks for the help!

BMG,
It appears that the thermostat is not working.

I would say Joseph is correct, check the thermostat. It sounds like it's gone out.

Does it act the same on both electric and propane? There are several things that will cause the propane not to cool as good as the electric. One is the flue to the roof is partly blocked and the flue gas is held in. Another is there is ash on the burner [easy to correct]. Then the thermocouple might not be lined up in the hot part of the flame. The ruby jet for the gas might have something in it. If there has been a lot of propane used in the rig - oil builds up in the propane regulator and the pressure falls below that required for the refrigerator. It this case other appliances will still work but the refrigerator will not.

Had it checked out this morning, it ended up being a bad board so I replaced the circuit board and the temps have been back to normal and all is working in tune again.
