Another Norcold fire. That refrigerator should be outlawed. So much for that little black box safety recall . . . If it had one
Well that may have been an issue. The owner, although shell shocked, said they had the “kit” but had not installed it yet.
1. NOBODY knows for a fact what caused the fire and IF it was the Norcold refer that was the cause. It could have originated from an LP leak in the refer area.
2. Norcold DOES NOT send recall kits to retail customers. The recall has been out for over 10 years.

5. The unit is over 20 years old and NOBODY knows the history or repair of the systems on this RV. It could have had a dirty burner or nests in the back of the refer that caught fire when it lit on LP. It could have had an LP leak that caught fire from a previous repair that was NOT to spec when the LP section was not secured correctly. Doug
