How often did you run the fridge OFF LEVEL?
How well did RV MFG. follow/adhere to Norcolds Installation Instructions for proper cooling?
Yes a 'RECALL BOX' was added to some older models to shut fridge completely off in the event of a HIGH-HIGH temp excursion (700*F)
But 10,000S absorption fridges are running just fine. And have been for many many decades
Some issues have been caused by fridge mfgs.....cost cutting/material problems
Some issues have been caused by RV mfgs......lack of proper installation
Some issues have been caused by RV owners...running fridge off level
Have you been in contact directly with Norcold?
