I don't think the people are as good as they used to be either.

Every one that has a RV should check with their fridge mfg for recall information… there are possibly up to 3 million of them that have been recalled and they seem to expand the number included in the recall all the time… some having been recalled a second time even…

Dometic Corporation refrigerator Model numbers recalled:
NDR1062, RM2652, RM2662, RM2663, RM2852, RM2862, RM3662, RM3663, RM3862, RM3863

Norcold Model numbers recalled…2
Models 1200, 1201, 1210 and 1211
N600 and N800 Series Models 1082 Free-Standing LP Model

There have been other recalls of older models and of some of the smaller fridges to…

I don’t know, and many here don’t agree, but it seems to me and is my opinion that most of the recalls have occurred after they decided to improve the cooling units to make them more efficient and be less temperamental… and when they stopped stressing the importance of being level and started saying they only needed to be almost (comfortably) level…

The two items I always recommend getting the manufacturers extended warranties on are LP refrigerators and rooftop heat pumps.


As a RV repairman, I fully agree with Chris. These are the two items that should be backed up by an extended warranty.

My Norcold in my motorhome is eight years old and still working very good. I never buy an extended warranty.

Hi,

The one in my previous RV is 1987 vintage and works. But the newer ones are apparently more problematic? When and if my current unit dies (it is 8 years old) I will replace it with a residential unit.
