Refrigerators

[John Suter]

Lee,

We've had both, but my preference is Norcold as
several times over twenty years' of Birds (and 20 of
non-birds before that), they were willing to "work
with me," well after the warranty was out.

However, unless your "case" is shot, why not ask
Dometic for options to upgrade/replace just the
cooling unit, and/or just the electronics/control
boards and display units?

Just before we sold the coach, we upgraded/replaced
refrig cooling unit (year previously had upgraded all
control boards) and Norcold voluntarily provided the
unit/parts and I was more than willing to pay labor -
very reasonable, we thought.
