Re: Fire Hazard Appliance Recalls UPDATED NORCOLD INFO 11-20-2010
Mine was not on the first recall. Got the second one and it said to shut the refrigerator down until the recall was done. Since we full-time, that was not an option since the refrigerator was working perfectly. Two days later, the refrigerator quit working before the recall was done. The cooling unit went bad and they told me our coach could have burned to the ground. NORCOLD HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH BAD COOLING UNITS. Some last less than a year, some last 10 years or longer, and the rest are somewhere in between. Mine lasted nearly 6 years and cost me $2200 to get fixed. With the Amish units, you don't have to worry about the recall wires and sensors, and they will never go bad again. That is the way I will go if this unit goes bad. Norcold will eventually go out of business if they don't start making these things more reliable and less costly to repair. Many new coaches are being built with residential refrigerators and that is a trend I believe will grow due to the crappy reliability of the Norcold units.314Views0likes0Comments
