Turn of Norcold refrigerator when not using?

For 3 months.....complete shut down.
Wipe it out and leave the door open.

I've always removed everything and turn off. Also leave refrigerator and freezer doors open so it will air dry.

X3 great advice ,if the doors close you could start growing mold. best to let air in,I cut a piece of foam that holds them open.

Thanks I have never shut it down completely since I’ve owned it New in 05. As per dealership suggestion.

What he said...

Like others I always shut mine down and leave the doors open. But if you want to leave it running I would load it with drinks. The extra mass will help the refrigerator stay cool and as a bonus you can hide out in the trailer and get a cold drink at the same time,

I tend to never cut off the fridge. I use it to keep extra soft drinks and beer cold. Also, I will use it on short notice as an escape pod, should power go out for a day or two.

If I have to cut it off, I make sure it's cleaned inside, and keep the doors open.

We are full-time, so ours is always on. 19 yrs old now and doing great. I have read opinions that say it will last longer if just left on - don't know if that is fact or not.

3 months of NON-Use

assuming you are leaving town and won't be near the RV , turn it off

if you are going to be home, but unable to travel, you can stock it with drinks and leave it on
