Good Morning Everyone: Our Norcold 1200 LRIM fridge blew a leak in the cooling unit last night :(. It is original fridge in our 2006 Tiffen Phaeton. I have read there are companies that will install refurbished cooling units avoiding buying a new refrigerator. We are in Lake Havasu, Arizona at the moment and were wondering if anyone out there could recommend a company that does the above.Thanks, Vikki and Rick

Hi,I would consider moving to a residential compressor fridge and adding some solar panels. That is my plan when the fridge eventually fails.

Not much good to you in AZ. But I and a friend got our fridges repaired in Shipshewana, IN. Mine is a Dometic his is a Norcold in the same model RV as yours. He could not be happier with the repair as I am.Contact: National RV Refrigeration. Give Leon a call.You may want to find a small fridge until you head home.There is a lot of info about replacing fridges with a residential fridge. A good option if you do not boondock.

Google: Amish Built Cooling UnitThese are not refurbished No_Cold units,,They are brand new and USUALLY superior quality. (Last longer).

Mine just failed a few months ago.. I bought the Amish built unit (new) and replaced it my self. I would have gone the residential route but I have a double door and it would have had to go out-in thru the windshield. They are way better quality than the OEM unit. Any competent tech should be able to it in 4-6 hours,maybe less.
