Review on Norcold 2M0802 Thermal Switch Bracket by Justin Bradford

not in the instruction manual. Calling Norcold simply directed me to call an authorized service provider. Research eventually led to the understanding that this switch is a safety device designed to turn off the refrigerator due to overheating, thus preventing a fire and thus a service call. The switch is normally closed and opens when overheated. However, my fridge worked fine when it was off, but displayed a code when I tried to restart it after sitting idle for weeks. Apparently the switch failed while standing, checking with an ohmmeter showed it was open. Then I connected the wires together and the fridge lit up normally to make sure the switch was bad. Reconnecting the wires to the switch reproduced the LI-oP error code. Since I was 100% sure there wasn't an overheating issue, I decided to replace the faulty switch.
