Norcold 120x installation manual Connect the water supply line

Connect the Ice Maker (optional)

Connect the Electrical Components

The ice maker is assembled to the refrigerators at the factory as optional equipment. If the refrigerator does not have a factory installed ice maker, one can not be added to the refrigerator at a later time.

The refrigerator installer must connect a cold water supply line to the solenoid valve at the rear of the refrigerator. The following are necessary to connect the icemaker:

-1/4 in. OD copper tubing for the water supply line.

-1/4 in. OD plastic tubing for the water supply line.

-1/4 in. shut off valve in the water supply line. This should be easily accessible through the lower intake vent.

Connect the water supply line:

Install a 1/4 in. OD water supply line [1] from the water shut off valve of the vehicle to the solenoid water valve [2] at the rear of the refrigerator (See Art01014):

NOTE: A brass compression nut [1], a brass sleeve, a plastic sleeve [2] , and a brass insert [3] are supplied and attached to the rear of the refrigerator (See Art01604).

-Put the compression nut and then the sleeve onto the water supply line [4].

-For copper tubing, use the brass sleeve.

-For plastic tubing, use the plastic sleeve [2].

-For plastic tubing with .040 in. wall thickness, also use the brass insert [3].

-Flush the water supply line until the water is clear.

-Put the tubing into the adapter [5] until it is against the stop of the adapter.

-Tighten the compression nut by hand (hard finger tight).

-Using two wrenches, tighten the compression nut 1 ½ to 2 turns.

-Open the water shut off valve of the vehicle.

-Examine the connections for leaks.

AC Operation	120 volts AC voltage
	(132 volts max. - 108 volts min.)
	12 volts DC control voltage
	(15.4 volts max. - 10.5 volts min.)

This refrigerator operates on these electrical sources. Opera- tion out of these limits may damage the refrigerator’s electrical circuit parts and will void the warranty.

Connect the 120 volts AC supply:

WARNING: Connect the AC power cord(s) only to a grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not remove the round ground prong from the AC power cord of the refrigerator or the ice maker (optional). Do not use a two prong adapter or an extension cord with either AC power cord. Operation of the refrigerator without correct ground can cause dangerous electrical shock or death if you are touching the metal parts of the refrigerator.

Put the AC power cord(s) into a grounded three-prong recep- tacle:

-Make sure the receptacle is positioned within easy reach of the lower intake vent.

-Make sure the power cord(s) does not touch the burner cover, the flue pipe, or any hot component that could damage the insulation of the power cord.

Connect the 12 volts DC supply:

The refrigerator controls operate on 12 VDC power. As the distance from the vehicle battery to the refrigerator increases, the correct AWG wire size and fuse size also increases. If the wire size is too small for the distance, a voltage drop occurs.

Use a minimum of 18 AWG wire and a maximum 6 Amp fuse. If the wire size is larger than the min. size, use the correct fuse per RVIA A119.2 standard or local codes.

1.Install a fuse in DC power supply wires between the battery and the refrigerator:

-Put fuse as close to the battery as possible.

2.Connect the DC power supply wires (See Art00966):

-Attach a 1/4 inch Quick Connect terminal to each DC power supply wire.
