Norcold N6XX/N8XX error code 10 sec flashes
The refrigerator has fallen back to its Back Up Operating System. Per the manual this happens when the TEMPERATURE SENSOR fails: the control switches over automatically, and pressing TEMP SET makes the temperature setting flash in the centre display for ten seconds before the mode appears. Note the manual's warning that the backup system 'can over freeze or thaw the contents of the freezer and the fresh food compartment', so the box is not safe to leave in this state.
What to check, and in what order, is in the app. The flow Norcold N6XX/N8XX — thermistor failure / BOS operation walks this code step by step with the pass/fail measurements, wiring schematics and procedures that go with it, and it works offline in the bay.
