NORCOLD refrigerator not cooling after defrost

[garzaes]

Hello friends,

We have a Norcold refrigerator and it's in our 2008 Journey Winnebago which we have been owners for almost two years. We've probably defrost the frig maybe five times and never had any issues putting it back in service after cleaning it.
Now after defrosting the frig does the unit does not turn on, I can change the mode, which is AC-LP or AU, and the cooling setting which is from 1-9 and the on and off button does work but does not cool.
I am hoping that maybe someone knows or can suggest something that could maybe trigger the frig to make it start cooling again.
We are not able to take our Winnebago to the repair service dept. because we are current living in the RV due to the Harvey flooding.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Download the service manual from bryantrv.com, select "service manuals" in the header then click on your specific make and model.
If you feel you require professional help, call a local mobile RV repair technician.

Take a look at the back of the fridge. Look the cooling coil over closely and see if there is any yellow residue on it. If so the ammonia has leaked out. Think residential replacement in that case.
