I was in the 'save the Norcold' camp for many years....my wife loved it...so, when the cooling unit finally failed, we replaced it with the Amish unit. As you may know, the recall unit is to shut down the fridge if it overheats, so please don't bypass it..a fire could result.
The Amish cooling unit is not involved in the recall process. The walls of the Norcold cooling unit are not as thick so they are prone to fail as the coolant destroys the metal from within. I lived with the Amish unit for a couple years and found it to be superior to the Norcold. My issue was with the ice maker line. When it failed for the 3rd time, I pulled the Norcold and installed the residential....good luck...Dennis
