Time to replace defective and potentially dangerous absorption fridge

[Johnny M Slone]

Hello, I to am in the process of replacing the Norcold with the RF197. First of all I have nothing good to say about the Norcold fridge, my personal opinion is they are dangerous. I have owned my coach for 6 years and have had troubles on 4 different occasions. Mine caught fire and had I not been right on top of it no doubt it would have burned. I actually put the fire out. This is a long story and I will not go into it now. As for the replacement the Samsung only needed additional height. The width was perfect, the depth could have used an inch more but will work. My coach had a small drawer and a toe heater underneath, overhead had a small drawer. I kept the toe heater underneath and a small drawer over head. The fridge now has 1 1/2 inch free space on each side so it could be boxed in with the fireproof material. Overhead I left a small opening in the vent as I felt it could help the ventilation. I fabed a bracket to bolt to both sides at the bottom of the fridge that will screw to the cabinet. I will also put a bracket at the back near the ac outlet. I think this will hold it securely in place.
