Need any help in trying figure out why my frig is not working in any setting. I can ignite the propane, green light comes on but does not cool frig. I also tried shore power and that is not working either. Is there a panel somwhere that I'm not seeing? The T@B is a 2015 with 3-way frig next to the outside door with two burner stove resting over the top. I found the flow chart for trouble shooting but indicates reseeting breaker and checking fuses. Where is this hidden? Much thanks for any help. Mark

Here are a few things to trouble in addition to being level:
1. Do you have enough battery? The Norocold uses a little battery. It won't run without it.
2. Make sure you have adequate LP and that your connections are tight.
3. Was your fridge pre-chilled on shore power? Getting the fridge from warm to cool on LP takes forever and it can be tough to achieve in warmer weather.
4. How long was the fridge on before you determined it was not working.
5. Check the fuses below the stove. Search, "Fuses for newbies"
6. Some 2015 T@bs did not include the auxiliary fan. If you have one, run it, if you don't you might need one. Is the countertop warmer above the fridge?

And from the Norcold Guy:
Is Your Norcold Refrigerator Not Getting Cool Enough?
There are several components that work together to get the refrigerator to cool properly. Understanding the basics will help you in locating the cause of the failure.
AC/DC model Norcold refrigerators are fairly simple in troubleshooting. You will know that you have one of these models if the refrigerator has a compressor in the back (typically installed in boats and trucks). Most RV's have gas absorption refrigerators and these can be more troublesome since there are more components that affect the cooling.
Below is a useful diagram of the gas absorption cooling unit on your Norcold refrigerator:

After 15 hours counter very hot and no evidence of attempted cooling. Works great on propane.
Spent an hour with a service guy (recommended by Norcold). He couldn't figure how to access the back. Do we need to remove the fridge to service it? He called Norcold and they are sending a manual. Any experience here?
Yes, it has to be removed to service it, unfortunately. I believe that @Michigan_Mike had a thread on the forum on how to remove it a couple of years, ago.
