Norcold Portable Refridgerator/Freezer

Where did you even find a cooling unit replacement for that model of fridge?

$1300 sounds like a cooling unit for a 'larger' fridge

Wasn't aware of replacement units for that portable fridge.

Why do you think it's the cooling unit?

I have the service/parts manual - I got it off the internet. Looking for the part number in the manual, I located several sources on-line.

Agree, but the part number I searched on is what came back with the $1300 figure - PN 161012000; Cooling Unit, built before March 2003.

The unit began to not keep things as "hard" frozen about six months ago. Now, everything seems to work (fan comes on, the compressor seems to function - I can hear and feel it operating, but no cold!!

Just wanted to bump this up.

I don't know about the portables, but had a neighbor with a Norcold in her rig. Her husband brought her up for work and dropped her off and headed home. Next day she realized her frige wasn't working. She called a service guy and a local dealer and they both wanted major dollars and just wanted to replace the unit. I looked on line and found a process where you ground a certain terminal and it resets. Worked great for several months until her job was don and she left. A Google search might find you some help and a lot cheaper.
