Hi Johnny,I just tried your links in this "Recall Corner". Unfortunately, all the links only take me to Good Sam's main forum web page, not to the specific product brands being recalled. I am doing this from Japan (I am on a business trip here for a few days), but I don't believe that should cause a problem. Would you double check the links again to make sure they are still fresh?BR,Benjamin

Same here, go back to Good Sam Club page.

There were two that got messed up when Good Sam went to the new software.. I have fixed them.. The rest should have worked for you...JohnnyT Moderator

There is a new series of Cooling units on the Norcold 1200LRIM that are being recalled. I don't have the recall number because I am not where the letter was recieved, but I called Norcold and they told me where to take the coach. They changed some insulation and shield that goes around a pipe where the propane is in use. It also has a couple of wires. Don't know what they were for. Norcold paid for the labor and parts. No cost to me. Refrigerator was pulled out to make repairs. Maybe Johnny can update the latest recall or latest addition to the recall. I have the four door with ice maker 1200LRIM.

Dealer located problem..refrigerator and inverter wiring was reversed. They wired correctly and Norcold has been working great ever since except for one minor problem on second trip out! The burner was fouled and needed to be cleaned so I got "No FL" message. Thank goodness for mechanic friend who met us halfway into Ga to Fl trip and corrected problem.

I recently purchased a 2007 Ambassador and took it out for first time this past weekend. The Norcold refigerator kept shutting down and blowing the breaker at the park when on AC. It did work fine on LP. Another camper advised me my unit might be included in recall. It was and Norcold advised me the fix had been performed on my unit. Will be returning motor home to dealer for fix but would like some ideas from other ref. owners on permanent fix.

If the cooling unit had sprung a leak, it would not work with either propane or AC. So your problem would not be what the recalls were all about. Sounds to me like you have some electrical problem that is over loading the circuit. It could even be a bad circuit breaker.

I have a 06 National Sea Breeze! I am wondering if I am suppose to hear fans at the back of the fridge from cooling fan's?? I have a frien with the same fridge and he says he can hear his fans run some of the time! I have read on this site that there is some wired backwards is this correct??

Having an old RV "99 Norcold went out after 7 years. Had a rebuilt cooling unit put in and that on lasted about 4 years. It stopped cooling would not get down past 44 degrees, which is to warm. So, did some checking and got an Amish cooling unit and put it in myself. Good YouTube videos on how to. Think my problem with rebuilt was not the cooling unit, but the cooling fans went out.

I'm a step ahead of you... DW wasn't feeling comfortable with all the issues surrounding Norcolds...so the Samsung's in and the Norcold is out! BTW if anyone lives or is passing near San Antonio I've got a Norcold 1200 looking for a new home... :-))

I replaced the coils in my Norcold almost 3 years ago. It works great. No recall sensor necessary. And I would check the wiring connection for the cooling fans. I found out mine was wired backwards. Even though they are 12 volt pancake fans they will not work if the black wire and white wire are switched in the control panel on the back of the refrigerator. My original coils, with the recall sensor installed, blew out. Instead of buying a residential refrigerator and going through the problem of fit and finish to install it in the motorhome, I put in the Amish made coils. A whole lot cheaper than rebuilding the cabinet area around the fridge and it still works on propane.

Think about it.

Had the recall done twice and it shut down again so will have the third one installed. So much for quality
