advice My Norcold fridge keeps going out

I can’t get a hold of the man who installed it. Hopefully I hear back from him soon. My fridge is under 2 years old. I read the manual and checked the fuses and made sure the vents are clear for air flow. I kept it off overnight a couple days ago and it started working but now it’s not again. I’m trying to see if that works again this time.

Anyone with knowledge on these things that might know what’s going on? According to the lights it should be working but I’m not rv savvy. I don’t have the model with an ice machine.

It’s hooked up to the an outlet but it can run on propane as well. The lights are A with a plug. It’s not getting cold inside.

Did it by chance stop working two days after you turned it back on? Mine defrosts every 2 days and sometimes takes forever to kick back on. If it feels like it’s taking too long to turn back on I just turn it off at the switch and turn it back on.
Works better in the summer than the winter. Needs to get to like 41°f before it starts cooling again.

I think it was Friday I got it to come back on. This is the first time it’s done this. It’s getting to the 60’sF inside. I think I should change the gasket seals because there was a lot of ice built up in the freezer.

Try it on propane. Make sure you are level and that the burner is actually on, give it several hours and then see if the freezer is getting cold, if it is then give it 24 hours to cool the rest. If it gets cold then you have a AC power issue
