If the sensor turned the power off because of high temperature, then I would say it is time for a new refrigerator. That sensor all it is, is for your own protection in case it gets so hot it could start a fire.
NO big deal, I have had around three recalls and that was to install a better sensor then the two before. I have never had any problems with the power turning off and I bought the coach new in April of 2003. But there have been some problems with a small percentage considering the thousands that Norcold has sold. Not only to RV's, but to big boats etc.
Some recommend going to a residential fridge and it is something to consider, but it will not be cheap. You got to have at least six to eight house batteries, a pure sine wave inverter 2000 watt. Good idea to have solar panels to keep them batteries charged if you dry camp. New fridge that will fit into the slot where your old fridge sat. Modification have to be made so it does not look like an add on. You can only get so many square inches into that hole, so make sure the residential fridge does not stick out like a sore thumb.
I have had my Norcold 1200 LRIM for twelve years already and even if it goes bad now, I think it has more then paid for itself. I probably would buy another fridge that would use propane and AC power. Love it!
