Norcold OEMDCA50801Limited Lifetime WarrantyNorcold DCA50801 Power Supply Circuit Board for 2118 Series Refrigerators

When your Norcold 2118 refrigerator stops cooling or loses power function, the power supply circuit board is one of the most common failure points. This is the genuine Norcold replacement board -- part number DCA50801 -- engineered to restore full operation to all 2118 model refrigerators, regardless of serial number. It ships with installation instructions and is backed by Norcold's limited lifetime manufacturer warranty.

Restore Your Norcold 2118 Refrigerator to Full Operation

The power supply circuit board in your Norcold 2118 refrigerator manages the conversion and regulation of incoming AC and DC power, directing it to the cooling unit, controls, and interior lighting systems. When this board fails, symptoms typically include the refrigerator not powering on, error codes appearing on the display, or the unit failing to switch between AC and DC modes correctly.

This DCA50801 board is a direct OEM-spec replacement. Because it is compatible with all Norcold 2118 refrigerators regardless of serial number, you do not need to cross-reference your unit's production date or serial range -- it fits the entire 2118 model family.

Universal 2118 Fitment

Fits all Norcold 2118 refrigerators across all serial number ranges. No serial number lookup required before ordering.

OEM Norcold Part

Sourced as a genuine Norcold replacement component (DCA50801), ensuring correct connector types, board layout, and operational parameters.

Includes Instructions

Installation instructions are included in the box, supporting a straightforward DIY board swap without hunting down separate documentation.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Backed by Norcold's limited lifetime manufacturer warranty, providing long-term confidence in the repair.

Common Symptoms Indicating Board Failure

If your Norcold 2118 is showing any of the following symptoms, the power supply circuit board is a likely culprit and this replacement is worth evaluating:

  • Refrigerator does not power on at all on AC or DC
  • Unit shows error codes related to power or control faults
  • Refrigerator fails to switch between 120V AC and 12V DC modes
  • Interior lights or display are unresponsive despite good shore or battery power
  • Intermittent power cycling or unexpected shutdowns
DIY-Friendly Repair: The power supply board on the Norcold 2118 is accessed from the rear exterior panel of the refrigerator. The process typically involves disconnecting the wiring harness connectors (which are keyed and color-coded) and swapping the board. The included instructions walk through the process step by step.

About the Norcold 2118 Refrigerator

The Norcold 2118 is a two-way (AC/DC) absorption-style RV refrigerator. Absorption refrigerators use a heat source rather than a compressor, making the power supply and control electronics critical to correct operation across both power modes. The DCA50801 board governs this power routing and is central to the refrigerator's ability to function reliably whether you are plugged in at a campground or running on battery or generator power.

Absorption Refrigerator Note: Unlike compressor refrigerators, absorption units are sensitive to proper leveling and adequate ventilation at the rear compartment. After replacing the circuit board, confirm the rig is level and that the roof and lower vent areas are unobstructed before diagnosing any remaining cooling concerns.
Before You Replace: Verify that the board is the actual failure point. Check that 120V AC shore power is present and correct at the refrigerator's outlet, and that the 12V DC supply from the coach battery is within normal range (approximately 11.5--13.5V DC). A board replaced into a unit with wiring or power supply problems may not resolve the symptom.
Maintenance Tip: Keep the rear ventilation compartment of the 2118 free of debris, nesting material, and insulation gaps. Overheating at the cooling unit or control area is a leading cause of premature board failure in Norcold absorption refrigerators.

Important Information
  • This board is designed exclusively for the Norcold 2118 model refrigerator. Do not attempt to install in other Norcold models without confirming exact compatibility.
  • Disconnect all power sources -- both 120V AC and 12V DC -- from the refrigerator before beginning board removal or installation.
  • Confirm that incoming shore power and coach battery voltage are within normal operating range before assuming the board is at fault. Installing a new board into a unit with wiring faults or under/overvoltage conditions will not resolve the underlying problem.
  • This listing is for the circuit board only. No other refrigerator components, wiring harnesses, or hardware are included.
  • Installation should be performed by a qualified technician if you are not comfortable working with RV electrical systems.
