General Questions

All recall service parts must be shipped to and installed by your local service center. For your local service center to obtain recall parts, they will need to contact Norcold® directly, report the required diagnostic information, therefore, there would be no reason for reimbursement.

No, as the Norcold® High Temperature Sensor (HTS Kit) is a national safety recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Norcold® is unable to send parts directly to consumers. All parts must be shipped to and installed by a trained service technician; you can find your local Norcold® Service Center here.

No, the consumer is responsible for the service call fee as it is a convenience.

Troubleshooting

Your refrigerator can stop operating for several reasons. Norcold® recommends contacting your local service center to have your refrigerator properly diagnosed. Bypassing, altering, or modifying any of the electrical components of your refrigerator, including the HTS system, can limit or remove safety aspects of your refrigerator and should NOT be done under any circumstances.

  • If slow flashing (1 flash per second): Low DC power.
  • If fast flashing (2-3 flashes per second): There’s a break in thermistor wire.
To have this flashing cleared, you will need to take your unit into your local service center. This is not something that is serviceable by the consumer, for safety and liability reasons.

A solid red light means the High Temperature Sensor (HTS Kit) has tripped. Please turn off the refrigerator and unplug from the 110V outlet. For proper diagnostics, contact your local Norcold® service center for safety and liability purposes.
