Have a Norcold N8DC or N10DC 12V compressor refrigerator? This guide helps you identify commonly replaced door-storage and electrical-control parts without confusing them with parts for similarly named gas/electric refrigerators. Start with the complete model label and use the component sections below.
N8DC / N10DC component location guide
This original simplified locator identifies the general service areas. It is not an OEM exploded diagram. For full model-specific illustrations use the detailed guides linked below.
Door storage
Door bins and crisper
Controls, power module and temperature sensor
The front user-interface board, rear compressor power module and thermistor are three different components. A cooling problem alone does not identify which one needs replacement. The complete front control-panel assembly may also depend on the refrigerator serial number.

The clear door bin and bottle retainer are not interchangeable. The crisper is a separate fresh-food storage component. Compare the part number, shape and exact refrigerator model before ordering.

The listed parts are documented for N8DCSS, N8DCBSS, N8DCBK, N10DCSS, N10DCBSS and N10DCBK refrigerator families. Match the full model identification label and check any serial-number-specific service assembly before ordering. In particular, the complete control-panel assembly has early and later service references; the standalone 640089 board should not be assumed to replace the whole assembly.
Open the Norcold N8DCBSS illustrated parts guide or Norcold N10DCBSS parts illustrations. Explore the RV appliance diagram index for other models. For refrigerator replacement sizing, see the 12V refrigerator size chart.
Before replacing electrical controls, follow Norcold’s service diagnostic procedure. Disconnect electrical power before opening service compartments and use qualified service personnel for electrical or sealed-system work.
