My Norcold DF0704 stopped working on 110. Seems to work fine on 12 volt.
It was probably original with the boat, so it must be 20 years old.

Replace or repair?

It looks like that model isn't made any more and what I see (on a very
quick look) shows that none of the new ones fit the cutout.

Maybe i just haven't found the right one yet.

What have you all done?

Thanks


Take a good look at NovaKool for a replacement. Every Norcold I've had
was noisy and underpowered as far as cooling is concerned. Two years ago
I replaced the Norcold that came with the boat with a NovaKool. Much
quieter and stays cold. (the one in this boat is a 90 cubic foot with
separate freezer on the bottom. We also replaced the original Norcold on
my wife's boat with a smaller NovaKool model and it also works quietly and
nicely.

I was just going to ask you if you had a walk-in refrigerator. :)

Which, by the way, I have actually seen in a house. One of my best
bud's father owned a resturant in New Orleans and when they built the
house after he sold it, one of the things he installed was a walk-in
refrigerator.

It was a scream to walk into a refrigerator to get a can of soda.
