0° F. and 32° F., the ice maker has a heater on the solenoid water valve and on the water line between the solenoid water valve and the
ice maker.
The water line heater does not protect the water supply line from the vehicle shut off valve to the solenoid
water valve on the back of the refrigerator.
When the freezer temperature of the refrigerator is low enough, the ice maker opens the water solenoid valve and lls the mold. The
ice maker ejects the frozen ice into a storage bin. As the storage bin lls, the ice raises the shut-off arm until it turns off the ice maker.
As you use the ice and lower the ice level in the storage bin, the shut-off arm also lowers. This turns the ice maker on and begins the
process of making ice.
The ice maker operates on:
- Cold potable water at a pressure of 15 psi - 125 psi.
- 120 Volts AC (108 VAC min. - 132 VAC max.).
Ice maker operation:
1. Make sure the ice maker AC power connection is secure.
- On N64X-IM and N84X-IM models, the refrigerator AC power cord supplies AC to the ice maker.
- On model N843-IM, a seperate (white) AC power cord supplies AC to the ice maker.
2. Open the water shut off valve of the vehicle.
Make sure that the ice maker arm can move freely and does not touch the frozen
foods in the freezer.
3. Push the ice maker arm down to the ON position [60] (See Art01015).
If you operate the refrigerator without connecting the water supply line and/or
opening the water shut off valve of the vehicle, make sure the ice maker arm is up
in the OFF position.
4. Allow the freezer to cool enough and ice production will begin to ll the storage bin [61].

Effects of Freezing Temperatures on Refrigerator Operation
A gas absorption refrigerator is not designed to operate in freezing temperatures. If the refrigerator is not equipped for low temperature
operation, and if the cooling system of the refrigerator is exposed to temperatures of 32° F. or lower for an extended period of time,
the refrigerator operation may be disrupted. The refrigerator operation will resume when the cooling system of the refrigerator warms
sufciently.
If the refrigerator is equipped for low temperature operation, the refrigerator will operate in temperatures down to 0° F.
Disrupted operation of the refrigerator, due to extended exposure to temperatures of 32° F. or lower, and any costs incurred to warm the
cooling system of the refrigerator are not covered by the Norcold limited warranty. Please contact your local RV dealer for information
about how to resume refrigerator operation or about how to equip your refrigerator for operation in freezing temperatures.
Do not change the installation or the venting of your refrigerator. Refrigerator failures, which are the result of changes to either the
refrigerator installation or to the venting, are not covered by the Norcold limited warranty.

Refrigerator Care Checklist
Your refrigerator will give you years of trouble free service if you do these simple checks every three to six months:
- Keep the food compartment and the freezer clean. See “Cleaning”.
- Defrost the refrigerator as necessary. See “Defrosting”.
- Make sure the door seals correctly. See “Door Sealing“.
- Be aware of any cooling changes that are not because of weather, loading, or gas control changes. If changes occur, contact your
dealer or service center.
- Make sure the gas supply is propane gas only and not butane or a butane mixture.
- When in propane gas operation, examine the appearance of the ame. See “Gas Flame Appearance”.
- Make sure the air ow in the lower intake vent, through the refrigerator coils and condenser, and out the upper exhaust vent is not
blocked or decreased.
- Make sure the area behind the refrigerator is clear. Do not use the area behind the refrigerator for storage of anything, especially
gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids.
Defrosting
The cooling ns of the refrigerator operate at below freezing temperature and will naturally form frost from humidity, which is always
present in the air. The humidity inside the refrigerator increases:
- with higher outside temperature and humidity.
- with the storage of non-sealed fresh foods or warm foods.
- with the amount of time that the door(s) are open.
- with any air leakage into the refrigerator.
Although the refrigerator is not frost -free, it is made to limit frost on the cooling ns. At regular intervals, the temperature control system
automatically melts most of the frost from the cooling ns. The water from the cooling ns drains into a collection cup that is attached to
the back of the refrigerator. The heat of the cooling system evaporates the water from the collection cup.
It is normal for frost to collect inside the freezer. Excess frost decreases the cooling performance of the refrigerator. Defrost the
refrigerator and freezer as necessary:
- Remove all food from the refrigerator.
- Turn the refrigerator OFF.
Defrosting the refrigerator makes excess water inside the refrigerator.
- Remove the drain hose from the drip cup at the rear of the refrigerator.
- Put the drain hose into a half-gallon or larger container to capture water.
New plumbing connections and/or impurities in the water supply line after winterizing can cause the rst ice to be
discolored or have an odd avor.
5. To stop the ice maker, push the ice maker arm up to the OFF position [62].

Owner’s Manual 15
- Put dry towels (etc.) inside the refrigerator and freezer to absorb melted frost.
High temperatures can cause the inside surfaces of the refrigerator to warp or melt. Do not use pans of
HOT water, a hair dryer, or any other high temperature devices to defrost the refrigerator. Do not use any
hard or sharp objects to remove frost. Damage to the interior of the refrigerator can occur.
- To increase the speed of defrosting, put pans of WARM water in the refrigerator and freezer.
- Remove the wet towels (etc.) and dry the interior.
- Remove the drain hose from the large container and put the drain hose back into the drip cup.
- Remove the large container from the enclosure.
- Start up the refrigerator.
