Trying to shake down my Palm Beach, Onan stopped running--will turn over but
won't fire off. It will start and run if I jumper across 9 and 11 or if I
run from hot + to coil. Is this a relay in the control board? other thought
is it the starter solenoid?

On refrigerator, have Norcold Model 86633 3 way, appears power board is bad,
no lights at eyebrow, blows F1 fuse, is the power board repairable, or
available?

Hi Mike

I'm still waiting on a starter bracket so I can see if I fixed my onan ic
board from causing this problem. I found that a solder trace on the back
of the board was cracked and I think that was the cause. The usual cause
for this, as far as I can tell, is the lower relay on the board not
functioning for some reason or another. If all else fails, Duane Simmons
will repair your board for you for a reasonable fee.

Can't help you on the fridge.

Mike - be sure to check the oil level. I believe the jumper also
bypasses the low oil cutoff switch.
