Hi, I'm new here.
We just bought a 2003 Fleetwood Revolution and found out about the recall on the Norcold 1200LRIM 4 door refrigerator. We had the motorhome at a dealership a couple of days ago to get it and the tow vehicle fitted for towing and they did the recall work (installed a high temperature sensor box) on the fridge while it was there. The fridge ran fine on propane and then on AC. We returned home today and emptied the fridge and shut it off, as we're going to park the motorhome with batteries off until we're ready to head south for winter. Hubby washed the motorhome and parked it. Walking by, he could see the red light glowing from the back of the fridge. The fridge hadn't even been running for a couple of hours at that point, so obviously nothing was overheating, the thing just tripped for no reason. Of course now the fridge won't turn on at all. Tomorrow we'll be phoning the dealership where the work was done, and we'll also try the magnet reset. We live on a farm about 4 hours away from where the work was done. We farm, harvest is approaching, and we simply do not have time for another trip to get them to fix this. Was this recall kit installation worth it? As it stands now, it didn't 'protect' us from anything. Nothing was overheating, nothing was leaking. We'll be trying to reset or bypass the kit until a new one can be installed.
