Troubleshooting Norcold DE0051


Looking for some good advice to give me a little more insight on getting my Norcold DE0051 running.

I have download and began to test things according to Norcold troubleshooting guide.
The refrigerator is about 10 years old and hardly used by previous owner.

It is 12v /120 volt but I have really only been testing on 120.

The “good tests”
My green light is on when I turn dial on.
Looks like I have decent power coming out of the 120 power module, sending over around 43v (from my memory) to the 12v power module.
Thermistor is reading around 1.5 k ohms which seems ok for 94’f in my garage.

The bad or quirky tests / results
1- in Step 2 in the main flow chart is about checking TP1 and TP2 for voltage. It’s says to refer to pic 1 which shows read, black, and brown points on the 12v power module board. Is it that the red and black need test3d? I can’t get a reading on those. Or is it that on the other side of the board where there are two connectors labeled TP1 and TP2? When I test then, they seem that they are the wiring for 12 v power out (from my memory) And they start at 1v but the keep increasing slowly to 11 volt. Even the 12v power in lead wiring are getting that increasing voltage the same while no 12 v power source is connected.

2- When I try to get a reading on the compressor for voltage, it’s not the same as pictured in the guide. I think that they want you to simply test the positive and nuetral lines at the compressor, right? I am only getting around 11 v and I think you should have more, right? Like 15 v min? When the refer to points a and b on the compressor, they are simply meaning the positive and negative connections, right?
