Cool down time for a Norwood?

Just wondering how long does it take to fully cool down the refer. We had our shakedown cruise over the weekend and I noticed that the first day, it didn't seem very cold, but the next, it was plenty cold. How long before we leave should the refer run?
  • We usually give it a good 24 hours of cool down time. Seems to be pretty standard.
  • OK, I should probably hook up to shore the evening before the day before the day we leave, that should give it plenty of time to get cold. I can't remember if I turned it on in the AM the day we left, or the night before that.
  • It depends. How hot is it, and how efficient YOUR fridge is. I had one that took 3-4 days, and two that were 1-2 days. Turn yours on early and monitor it to see.
