    Norcold refrigerator temp limit switch cover

    NORCOLD REFRIGERATOR TEMP LIMIT SWITCH COVER

    I’ve had my Norcold model 2118 SS shut down and throw the LI oP error code twice now in less than3 years.Both times it was from heavyrains hitting that side of the 5er.Asmost of us know the Temp Limit Switch inside the lower cover has an open circuitfacing the outside, and if water gets on that, it will trip the limit switchand shutdown the fridge.I have alwaysbeen successful in resetting the fridge with a rare earth magnet placed on topright of the limit switch.There areplenty of write-ups on the internet about that.
    This is my solution to preventing any water from gettinginto the Temp Switch.
    I found at a Dollar Store, (Dollar Tree I think) a clearfood container that fits over the switch. I think it was about 3.5” x 3.5”.I cut the side out to go around the metal bracket and left enough roomto fit the wires thru without rubbing.Iused aluminum tape to affix it to the back wall of the fridge. The key wasfinding the little food container.Itwas labeled Surefresh, Tritan food storage container, 1.6 cups.And it had a snap lid.
