Norcold N6XX / N8XX AC LO Code (AC Voltage Low)

The fridge is getting less than 108 volts AC. Low voltage means less heat at the AC heater and weaker cooling. It’s usually the power source: a weak campground pedestal, generator, inverter or a long extension cord.

Before you start

  • Where things are. The power board, fuses and burner are behind the lower outside vent, under a cover on the back of the fridge. The optical control (display) assembly is in the front box at the top.
  • Note the power source. Check whether the code shows up only on one source: generator, shore power or inverter.
  • No extension cords. Nothing else should be on the fridge’s AC circuit.

STEP 1

Measure AC at the power board

Measure AC volts where the power cord connects to the power board, with the fridge running on AC.

?

Is it lower than 108 volts AC?

YES
▼

Fix the AC supply

The problem is in the RV’s AC power or wiring feeding the fridge. Try another power source and check the pedestal, cord and connections. A surge protector with voltage readout shows you what you’re plugged into.
