Ray Chez, the chinese sensor with the little red light was suppose to blow if the refrigerator got to hot. I don't know how hot that is. I don't know if it got so hot that the coils blew and then the red light came on or what. I just know that the so called "recall fix" is not a fix, but a removal of liability. If your chinese sensor comes on with a little red light, your refrigerator WILL NOT WORK. No matter where you are in your journey. Why didn't Norcold come up with a Fix that prevented a fire, or prevented the coils from getting so hot that they would cause a fire in your unit? It would be like Toyota, instead of fixing the accelerator problem they had, putting in a sensor that shut off the brakes and shutting down the engine if the car suddenly started to accelerate. Leaving you parked along the side of busy highway at rush hour. I won't buy another rig with a Norcold anything in it.
I agree with you completely that Norcold should have recalled all those refrigerators that could give problems and replace the coils or what ever it needed to be safe. The sensor is a cheap way of getting out of replacing the real problem. Reminds me of Cummins with the problem they had with the ISL engines with wrist pins that were not machined properly. They just installed a light to warn you that the engine was about to blow up. Cheapest way to getting out of a big problem with their product.
