It is hard to believe that the coil would blow up because of a sensor attached to the pipe, unless the clamp they installed crimped the pipe causing a weak spot. I have had all the recalls and my 1200 LRIM is still working really good for the last nine years. But if it does fail one of these days I will probably look into installing the Amish coil.

My refrigerator was working fine. No problems for years. Then they decided that a recall was necessary. The first recall lasted a week and the button wouldn't reset. The second recall lasted 4 hours and when the technician checked it the coils were blown. Thanks to RV Net I found out about the Amish coils. When I put the new coils in the refrigerator the cooling fans did not come on. So I, having worked on this rig from front to back, got out the wiring diagram. Surprise, surprise, the black wire and the white wire had been switched on the control box. Wonder how that happened. If I hadn't read those instructions and found that switching of the wires then my new Amish coils would have blown out too. Where did I get this idea? I got it from doing the work myself to replace the coils. Fact! The original coils on a refrigerator that was working just fine before the recalls were blown. You doctor it, I don't.

Personally, I wouldn't mess with the stupid recall. I went through the procedure and they blew the coils out of my unit. I took the recall package off my refrigerator and sent it back to Norcold. A lady called me and said they were going to look into some compensation for what happened. That was the last I heard from them.
Thanks to RV.net and these postings, I found out about the Amish replacement coils. Cost me $1,075.00 for the coils, used a motorcycle jack to get the refrigerator out, 4 bolts, some wiring, and unit works perfectly even though I have to set it at a lower number. But that was better than buying a new refrigerator. And it ain't gonna burn my motorhome while I am in it.
