My 1200 failed but I went the Amish cooling unit route and did it myself with help.
Not hard and it works better than factory. About $1200 with shipping.
I agree $1200 is a bit much for labor. Maybe find a mobile guy if you can’t do it or drive it to Elkhart.
There are videos on YouTube.
The $2,500 breaks down to $1,600 parts&tax (includes new ice maker lines and fittings) and $900 labor. The shop charges $120/hr so 7.5 hours.
As far as the Amish units, has anyone wondered about if Norcold would take responsibility if a fire occurred on a non-norcold cooling unit protected by the norcold recall box??? What about insurance? Something to think about and maybe not worth a few extra $100 bucks.
None of those are really an issue.
Insurance isn't going to care if it was the original Norcold, an Amish unit or anyone else's cooling unit. If it burns down because of it they (Ins) will simply pay.
Norcold is never going to pay for a burned down rig unless your ins. went after them in court - which they wont do.
