After completing both recalls, the frig made a fairly loud "blow out" sound and leaked ammonia bad. Possibly from a hole in the coils. I cut the power to the frig and luckily had no damage and no fire. Just aired out the coach. I live 30 miles south of Indianapolis, IN and does anyone know where to get an "Amish" fix fairly close or possibly in northern Indiana?Or if I go the residential route, anyone know who might specialize in replacing the Norcold with a residential unit that would be fairly close to where I live? I am strongly leaning to the residential frig as I have a new Magnum MS 2812 full sine wave inverter, and four house batteries. Costs guesses on the above would also be appreciated.

Even with new cooling unit the electronics,burner system,door seals,fans etc are 13+years old.I would install a new norcold or go residential.Like whyP said if always plugged in go res if boon docking all the time go/stay with lpg

RV Cooling Warehouse is located in Shipshawana In I believe, prices are listed on the link website.

On Tuesday last week we just had the Samsung 197 residential frig installed with the Magnum 2812. Works great did the 150 mile trip home on the inverter freezer stayed at -2deg and the frig +38deg. After having it installed I would never go back to a Not-So-Cold fire hazard. Just need to see if you have room.JR

My extended warranty paid for the Amish changeout. I believe it was about $1800..parts and labor....and yes, the Amish units are in Shipshawana...call David Force..easy to talk to and very knowledgeable....Dennis
