Why Do I Need A Norcold Board Kit?!

These Norcold board kits have many RVers confused. Don't worry! It's not as complicated as it looks and doing this installation will lengthen the lifespan of your refrigerator and save you money.

First, here is what your board kit will contain:

• Optical Board w/ wire adapter
• Power Board w/ wire adapter
• Lamp/thermistor wire (the jumper wire that goes across LI IN and LI OUT)
• Installation instructions

Norcold began production of board kits for older style refrigerators that have an optical board that has become obsolete or is no longer being manufactured.  The big difference between your older optical board and the new is the plug adapter that connects it to the refrigerator. Now why do you need a new power board as well, you ask? Well, simply put, the two boards aren't able to communicate with one another if they don't have the same pin connection.  So yes, even if just one of the two boards being replaced is bad, you will definitely need to replace both at the same time. Follow the installation instructions and take your time! We highly recommend taking a picture of the original board and the connections before removing any of the wires. This will makes things easy for you if you need to go back a step or two. 

The price of these board kits are very reasonable, often times cheaper than just one of the older style boards. For that reason as well as the fact that your older boards will eventually become obsolete, we recommend getting a board kit if you have to replace either of the older style boards. This will lengthen the life of the refrigerator and ultimately save you money!
