While I'm scoping out the problem with my Norcold DE-561 (TEK II Dual
electric), I'll be looking at some new marine models. Much of what I've seen
in this and other groups is disparaging of Norcold.

Any suggestions for a replacement brand? This one is around 7 cubic feet and
has two outer doors (freezer/fridge)

Generally, just about everybody in marine refrigeration is using the new
Danfoss 35 or 50 series compressors. Better efficiency than previous models
and ability to run them at different speeds if engine is running (depending
on the control module the "marinizer" puts on it).

There is less difference now between makers IMO cause they are all using the
same building blocks.

Exceptions for Glacier Bay who go their own way.
