110v Residential fridge install
Hey Everyone, I finally made up my mind regarding the replacement of my failed 6cu. ft. RV fridge in my little 5er. I decided to go with the Whirlpool model #WRT111SFAW 10.7 cu. ft. "apartment" ...

Thanks Steve.
Kanga - residentials is an "old news". Everybody would have them if it could fit, didn't require daily generator run, and didn't have noise issues. Reviews for this model note loud click when compressor kicks in, and sometimes loud during normal run. This is common for all compressor fridges, more common for residential 120V than boat/RV 12V because of locked rotor. If you ever stayed in a room with fridge few feet from your bed, you would know what I mean. Some - not all - also have a fan cooling the condenser and compressor, my home fridge has it, and this can be loud too. The cabinet will TAD dampen the sound though.
First obstacle you will have to overcome is the RV cabinet width, depth, height. And entrance door width. At the factory they put it in before building the trailer walls and roof.
Replacement cooling unit for your old Norcold costs $400-450. Though it is possible that it's not a cooling unit, but ammonia leaked/evaporated over years.
