Norcold NR740BB Temperature Knob/Thermostat VERY Hard To Turn

TrishS

Hello, I have a 2015 T@B Teardrop with the 2-way Norcold NR740BB. I am unable to turn the temperature knob (thermostat, I guess??) all the way to "0" in order to turn the unit all the way off for storage. As you know, unplugging the T@B doesn't solve my problem because it will just run off the battery. I do NOT want a battery disconnect switch on the battery because it gets in the way of checking water levels so turning the fridge off is the only way I have to defrost it.   Has anyone had a similar issue with not being able to turn this unit all the way off?  Any suggestions how to fix (besides pulling out and replacing with another unit)??  Thanks!

Pull the fuse at the converter panel.

I can’t turn mine off either, I pull the 12 volt fuse in the converter panel.

Ours was tough to turn all the way off too!  Then it stopped running.  Then we found out that some Norcolds given to NuCamp were not what they said they were... Norcold stepped up and replaced the entire fridge AND paid the repair person who had put time into trying to fix it!  Notice we are all 2015-2016 CS-S.  You might want to look into this.

@TrishS, you can place a battery cut off switch somewhere besides your battery box.  The factory locates the knob on the front wall of the TaB or they can be wired from under the driver-side bench with the knob close to the fuse panel.

Hello all. Just now getting back to trying to figure this out  I'm going to attach a picture of what my WFCO 8735-P looks like right now.  If I'm reading the sticker in the top right corner correctly, it looks like the fridge should be the 2nd fuse down and it should be a 10amp.  It looks to me like that fuse is already missing, am I correct?  If so, then why is the fridge still running even when unplugged?

UPDATE:  I attached the wrong photo - sorry.  This is the right one  sorry about the confusion.  @manny thank you for your help I think I figured out which one it is

And don't just blindly trust the labels, as they are not always correct. Verify that your fridge (and not something else) is actually off once you pull the fuse!

When storing your T@B, the fridge isn’t the only thing that will drain your battery. Before I installed a battery switch I always pulled the fuse on the positive line from the battery.
