Norcold 841 Died

The refer we bought used in 05 died the other day. I spent several hours troubleshooting resetting the circuit board, and waiting for the "no co" code to appear. I reset it 3 times and decided to yank it out and turn it upside down as was suggested by several bus nuts. Prior to that I wanted to make sure the bus was level, remove the top vent cover and check for any obstruction. I didn't smell or notice anything wrong.

While I was sliding it out I notcied the smell of ammonia, this was not a good sign. The cost of a new cooling system is over $600, and then to install it which is quite a process from what I read. We decided to chuck it and buy a new electric. So the search was on!

After countless hours on the puter we found one that would slide right into the hole without too much modification. We chose a 9,5 cu ft Whirlpool at Lowes for $359.10 delivered in silver. I hop in our car and drive over to take a look, didn't have one in stock but could have one in 6 or 7 days. This is starting to raise my blood pressure a little. I really like to see something before I commit to buy, call it crazy, but I only want to do this once.

The Norcold is 7.5 cu ft, so this increases our storage capacity and it's brand new! Going all electric just makes sense to us. We're on a pole most of the time anyway, and while traveling I can fire up the genset when needed.

Which leads us to the next conclusion, we're removing our propane two burner cooktop that we've never used. Going to purchase a three burner 120v electric cooktop which will do just fine. We might be able to get that next month, hopefully.

Now all I have to do is sell our two 40# propane bottles with regulator and yank out the few feet of black pipe. This will also open up some valuable bay space and give us room to store more junk....err..stuff!
