Because I am bored and it's boating related, I thought I'd report the
results of my search for and replacement of the original NorCold refrig on
the boat.

We also had a Norcold drop-in that was noisy, inefficient,
and didn't really keep things all that cold. Plus, the
uselessly small freezer section frosted solid in about 20
minutes. In all, a useless POS.



.... The new NovaKool is silent.
Initially, I had to go check it once in a while just to make sure it was
running.


Couldn't find a NovaKool to fit the same drop-in, plus we
put in a seperate freezer and wanted a fridge-only unit.

We went with a survivalist 12V floor standing fridge that
would fit under the counter space. Had to cut away a little
cabinet work, but we refinished & now it looks pretty good.

I added a 120VAC/12V power converter & a selector relay, it
will run on 120 when on shore power or generator.



So, all in all, it worked out great. I like the feature of having the
freezer section on the bottom rather than on the top. And it holds more
beer, to boot.


Ours has worked great too, it's nice to not have to defrost
it. It's much more energy efficient
