The owners manual for the refrigerator will have a guide to the lights. If you have no owners manual, the major brands all have web sites and customer service links.

Hi

It would help to know what manufacturer, model and year of the refrigerator. Years ago, one manufacturer's refrigerators had similar symptoms and it was a board problem. Should this be the case, you may want to consider Dinosaur Replacement Boards

Try RV Mobile Technical or Gas refrigerator . net for trouble shooting and manuals.

The problem is I don't have a owners manuel . It is a Norcold Fridge. It does sound like a board problem. I have two more weeks to go at the CG.
Thanks for the info

Go to the outside access panel of the fridge. Remove it and you will find a black, plastic cover held in place with 3-4 screws. It also says "danger, High voltage" or something around those lines. You should see a 110 household powercord plugged into a standard plug in receptacle. Unplug it and remove the plastic cover that has the warning on it. This is your circuit board and it has a couple of fuses on it...just like on your automobile.

These are very common for failure. Any type of power surge, will blow the fuses. Check them out before you spend the $$$ on a service call. It may be as simple as a blown fuse.
