Another RECALL for the 1200 Norcold

[contrail Bob]

Rich, You are so right. I was told that they could get the recall done from the
rear of the unit without pulling the reefer out so I did not do anything like
you mentioned. I now know that it's going to take pulling the reefer to do any
kind of maintence on it. Building the stand for it to set on is the way to go.
My last three birds had the dometic,I know they all have their problems but
norcold seems to have more than most and besides that I don't think it's as
efficent as some of the others. I've finally got mine to do a much better job of
cooling, I added another fan in the bottom of the cabinet and also increased the
size of the top vent and it now seems to do a much better job. On my 93 with the
dometic their was a lot of room behind the unit, this 99 is really cramped and
also has a much smaller vent door than the dometic. Thanks for the reply

cooling unit replaced then the recall for the limit switch. I couldn't find
anyone to do that one so I did it myself. Whether you choose to go this route or
have someone else do it, eliminate the chance for damage by making a platform
just the height of the bottom of the refrigerator.

refrigerator on top of an up-side-down rubber backed bath rug. Slide the
refrigerator out onto the platform for easy access to the back. This makes a one
man job out of it.

done on the recall that they did on the coach last year. this will be the second
time they have to put a switch on the stack to prevent over heating. The
previous owner had a recall where they replace the cooling unit. It's a pain
because their is not enough room inside the outside access to do what is
required to complete the recall. They have to take the reefer almost all the way
out of it's opening to work on it. You then have the problems of getting it all
resealed and hope that they don't scratch thing up. Iam thinking of stopping at
camping world on the way to SPI and have them do it. Not a big fan of Norcold.
