Many owners of Dometic or Norcold refrigerators find their cooling unit has failed. The most common signs are a yellow residue around the burner area and/or a strong ammonia smell. The reason is the factory built cooling units have a weak boiler design that fails from thermal stress.

We offer top quality amish designed replacement cooling units that are much more durable than factory or other aftermarket refrigerator coolers. They use heavier wall seamless tubing and a boiler design that won't fail from thermal stress.

Once the new refrigerator cooler is mounted it is necessary to let it break in. This is a process that takes about a week of running the unit at full capacity to ensure the internal fluids mix thoroughly. During this time it is best to keep the freezer door closed and run it on defrost. It is also recommended that you remove the refrigerator from service and allow it to sit uncovered in a warm place for a few days prior to use. This allows any moisture to dry up inside the insulation.

Once the refrigerator cooler is positioned properly in the rear of the fridge it is often necessary to trim the evaporator foam pack pocket to allow it to seat completely. This may take a little patience to accomplish. It is important that the evaporator foam pack be seated in the pocket correctly and securely so the refrigeration system can work.norcold cooling units
