operation only to maintain the refrigerator
temperature while in transit and if the other
energy sources are not available. Do not use
DC electric to initially decrease the temperature
of the refrigerator.
If an energy source is available to the refrigerator, but is not
operating correctly:

electric.
If the energy source is interrupted:

Cooling unit sensing:
The controls have the ability to sense the operation of the
cooling unit. If the controls sense that the cooling unit has
stopped cooling:
- The heat sources to the cooling unit are turned off and are
locked out by the controls.
- A fault code “n” shows in the Center display.
You can reset the controls and remove this fault code one time.
To reset the controls, shut off and then start the refrigerator.
- To turn off the refrigerator, push the ON / OFF button for two
seconds and then release.
- To turn on the refrigerator, push and release the ON / OFF
button.
If you reset the controls and the fault occurs again before the
refrigerator completes a full cooling cycle:

locked out.
- A fault code “n” shows in the Center display.
- This time you can not reset the fault. Have the refrigerator
serviced by your dealer or a Norcold authorized Service
Center as soon as possible.
