Remove the Refrigerator
NOTE: A dealer or Norcold authorized service center must do
this procedure.
CAUTION: The rear of the refrigerator has sharp edges
and corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working
on the refrigerator, be careful and wear cut resistant
gloves.
1. Close the valve at the propane gas tank(s).
WARNING: To avoid possible gas leaks, always use two
wrenches to tighten or loosen the gas supply line connec-
tions of the refrigerator.
2. Open the lower intake vent and remove the gas supply line
from the bulkhead fitting of the refrigerator.
3. Remove the AC power cord from the receptacle.
- On model 323 only, remove the DC fuse or remove the DC
wiring from the battery or the converter of the vehicle.
Reinstall the Refrigerator
WARNING: Make sure the seal strips [1] (See Art00951)
are not broken, are completely around the refrigerator
mounting flanges, and are between the refrigerator
mounting flanges and the wall of the enclosure. If the seal
is not complete, exhaust fumes can be present in the
living area of the vehicle. The breathing of exhaust fumes
can cause dizziness, nausea, or in extreme cases, death.
1. Push the refrigerator completely into the enclosure.
2. Put the screws though the mounting flanges and into the wall.
3. Put the plastic plugs into the mounting flanges of the refrig-
erator.
CAUTION: The rear of the refrigerator has sharp edges
and corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working
on the refrigerator, be careful and wear cut resistant
gloves.
4. Open the lower intake vent and put the screws through
refrigerator and into the floor.
WARNING: To avoid possible gas leaks, always use two
wrenches to tighten or loosen the propane gas supply line
connections of the refrigerator.
5. Attach the propane gas supply line to the bulkhead fitting of
the refrigerator.
6. Open the valve at the propane gas tank(s).
WARNING: Do not allow the leak detecting solution to
touch the electrical components. Many liquids are
electrically conductive and can cause a shock hazard,
electrical shorts, and in some cases, fire.
7. Examine the gas supply line for leaks.
8. Connect the DC wiring to the refrigerator:
- Install the DC fuse or connect the DC wiring to the battery or
the converter.
WARNING: To avoid possible propane gas leaks,
always use two wrenches to loosen and tighten the gas
supply line at the refrigerator’s manual shut off valve.
- Remove the flare nut from the orifice assembly [1] (See
Art00956).
- Remove the orifice assembly from the burner [2]
WARNING: When cleaning, do not try to remove the
orifice [3] from the orifice adapter [4]. Removal will
damage the orifice and seal of the orifice and can cause
a propane gas leak. Leaking propane gas can ignite or
explode and result in dangerous personal injury or
death. Do not clean the orifice with a pin or other
objects.
- Clean the orifice assembly with air pressure and alcohol
only.
- Using a wrench, assemble the orifice assembly to the
burner.
- Assemble the flare nut to the orifice assembly.
- Tighten the flare nut by hand.
- Hold the orifice assembly securely and, using a wrench,
tighten the flare nut 1/4 revolution only.
- Examine the propane gas supply sytem for leaks.
- Mark the DC wires so you can put them back in the correct
location.
- Remove the DC wiring from the refrigerator.
4. Remove the screws which fasten the rear of the refrigerator to
the floor.
5. Remove the screws which fasten the refrigerator to the wall.
