OK, I looked at the Amish cooling units, thank you for the link! I was told by the tech, that I could replace the cooling unit, but it wouldn't make any difference to my problem of freezing 'fins' and inside sweating. (The box sweats so much, I have to wipe it with a towel or my food gets dripped on.) I've already had the door 'flapper' replaced and the temp gauge too, but that connection from the box to the door isn't working right. I've been told it is producing too many amps and that is why the connection is burnt! So, yes I can replace any number of parts, but it still isn't going to make things right in the end and that is why it is declared UNREPAIRABLE!!!!!
We went with a remanufactured option in our 1992 6162 Norcold. That is not an option for the Norcold 1200 because that cooling unit new is built too light in design and in the materials use to be safe and long lasting so as to make rebuilding a sound, safe out of the old ones possible in a technical/legal sense as I understand it.
When you look at photos of the Norcold vs. Amish 1200 design you will see the difference at a glance. There are several threads with photos on the forum as well.
Hey Gale, Thanks for the information. I'm going to check that out.

Mr. Scott Blanc suggested I ordered a new 1210 IM Norcold refrigerator from Camping World which I did on June 11. I am supposed to be reimbursed by Good Sam Warranty. It came yesterday and today is the 27th of June and I finally got the refrigerator installed!
Only problem is there isn't any panels on the doors. When I ordered the refrigerator on the internet, It shows a photo of the outside of the unit and it is written under the photo "Comes with black panels for a sleek look". IT DID NOT!!! I called Camping world, they called Norcold and I was told the panels have to be ordered separately.
I ordered the fridge in 'good faith' and 'as advertised' and now I don't feel that I should have to pay extra for something that I was under the impression that "came with" !!
Camping World can keep their sleek black door panels!! I won't pay for something that reads it 'come with'! So, I was able to keep the door panels from my old fridge that I'd ripped photos off and made a mess of when the new fridge came. Got some "Contact paper" and tried to fix the door panels. They look kinda OK, but shiny black would look better. OH, well........
we are having similar problems with our 1201 frig. We have had it for a year and it has never cooled well. they have replaced the cooling unit and the burner. Now it doesn't cool at all. It will not run for 24 hours straight. Camping world says they cant do anything until we bring it and have them hook it up and test it for 24 hours. OK well its going on 3 weeks without a frig and we have an appointment for Monday. Then when it codes out with NO CO and they still can't find anything wrong will they replace the frig? we will see. They have gotten nothing but run around from the extended service contract people. They have already spent more than the cost of the new frig and we are out of alot more money ourselveves by staying in hotels, throwing away food and utter frustration with Camping world,extended service contract and Norcold. We have always had Dometic refrigerators and have not had this much problems. If they finally authorize a replacement I'm going to request a Dometic.
To answer your question BARW, no, I have not yet been reimbursed. I have contacted Mr. Blanc twice by email and was told he would get in touch with me by phone, but this has not happened as of today Wednesday July 18.
To answer Gale Hawkins, yes, the panels from the old refrigerator 1200 fitted the 1210 perfectly, but when the old one was removed, I ripped photos off the panels covering the freezer part where I had a picture collage of family and friends and in doing so, the paper woodgrain covering was a mess. Besides, remember...the new fridge was coming with "black panels for a sleek look."
We have a few phone numbers for you and have left a voicemail on each phone number. Will you private message me with the best phone number to reach you at?
