The infamous Norcold refrigerator! Rant!
I am one of the people who had a fire caused by my Norcold refrigerator in 2007. I (and mainly my insurance) had a new Norcold 1210 IM installed as a replacement. This fridge is now icing up the fins at the back and the inside temperature is at 30 degrees. I know that means the heater in the flapper is not working.
Upon looking closely at the fridge, on the lower left door where the flapper is, there are 3 wires, 2 whites and a green, that attach to a white plastic plug that have problems. One of the white ones is intact to the plug, the other white one is broken off at the plug and the green one is frayed about 1 inch from the plug. I think I can possibly fix the green wire, but the broken white one is not going to be possible to strip back and reattach. I have called the manufacturer, who gave me a number for a flapper repair kit that is not the correct kit (it only has 2 wires rather than 3). What I need is a new wiring harness and then I could just replace the whole thing.
I refuse to buy a new door or a new flapper for 2 broken 12V wires! What a piece of junk this fridge is!
