Hello!

First off, thank you for your time and input.
We purchased our RV back in December and the Norcold fridge was working fine. We parked it in our driveway which is on a bit of a slant.

The refrigerator stopped working about a month ago. We had a company come out to our house to look at it and he said that it would not work properly if it was not on flat ground. Has anybody ever had this issue?
 
Yes, we had Norcold propane/electric frig in previous coach and had same issue which I believe is normal. If fairly level it worked flawlessly.
 
Used to be a theory that if you ran into an issue with propane rigs not working, you would need to "burp" them. Normally this was done by driving over a hilly area. Just an interesting concept and not sure how much truth there was to it as I never ran into this issue.

I've also heard over the years that if your fridge doesn't cool you have to take it out and turn it upside down for a while. Seems like a lot of work on a rumor.
 
Thanks to all for the info. I parked it on flat ground and the fridge works like a dream!!
