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.
