It kind of sounds like playing Russian roulette with ones family. It didn't take me long to ditch the Not-So-Cold and install a RR frig. I'm with Old-Biscuit, know what you are doing before you do it.

one has to do what they believe is best form themselves. I just don't see the danger that others see. the actual % of fridge fires from my research is miniscule compared to number of units produced. I will go RF when the time comes just because we want a bigger fridge and the cost is about the same as a new cooling unit
It's not just fires from RV fridges (Norcold and/or Dometic) it also is failing units.
Thousands of replacement cooling units have been sold/installed. Not all because of fires but because they have FAILED.
Not uncommon to find 20 yr RV fridges STILL in operation BUT it also is not uncommon to find numerous cooling unit failures on 10 yr or less RV fridges.
MFg. cutting production/material costs....thinner walled tubing/poorer welding (overheating/penetration) results in cracks.
Cracks let out the coolant solution. Hydrogen/ammonia are flammable and even if they don't catch fire....it still means failure.
