Yellow residue means the cooling unit has leaked, and it can't be repaired. Stop using the fridge, especially on propane, because a leaking unit can overheat. The fix is a new cooling unit or a new fridge. For the N841, we carry the brand-new Nordic Cooling Unit 3381A. Or you can replace the fridge. The N841 is discontinued, and Norcold's replacement is the Norcold N8X. See our ammonia smell guide and Norcold replacement guide.
