My fridge thinks it is a freezer and the freezer thinks it is a fridge.
This is an older Norcold 1200. The temp gauges in the fridge say it is at zero degrees and the freezer gauge says it is a 32 degrees. The unit has been setting for over a year. I just had the gas burner cleaned because it would not stay lit. Now it works but in reverse. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Yep, a non lethal Samsung rf197 residential fridge, that will allow you to sleep at night without worrying about the RV burning down.....

If the readouts are correct values it sounds like you are good to go.

1. NO RV absorbsion refer will get below 20 degrees in the refer and will NOT get to 0
2. HOW are where are you reading those temps. What are you using for the measurement. Doug

If the temp reading are even right, could be a blockage in the Ammonia cooling lines? Has the unit been driven down the road since turning it on? If not, maybe gosh-ling it around a bit might help get the juices flowing again, LOL.
