Fridge Replacement
David T. Richelderfer:
Jerry - Was your old fridge a Norcold LRIM 1200? I need a replacement door... lower right fridge door.
Steve Huber Co-Admin:
We installed a Samsung 18 cu ft unit a few years ago. Since then the cooling fans in the refrigerator section have quit twice. In addition the Samsung unit we had in our stick house also died after only 3 years. JUNK IMHO.

I have little respect for anything Samsung, excepting our S10e cell phones which are the only things from that company in this house that haven’t earned too much wrath.
Parts in 3 year-old failed electronics devices by various other brands turned out to be made by Samsung; blown Samsung-made capacitors were replaced with another manufacturer’s that have held up for years (a decade?) since. Our large home fridge is a GE, but was made for them by Samsung. It’s ice maker I’ve repaired twice and replaced once. It’s noisier than heck. It’s defrost/condenser system I had to tear into and repair once a few years ago and it’s gone belly up again. I haven’t had the wherewithal to go through the repair again, so we tolerate until then the freezing water puddling under and immobilizing the deli drawer. I’ve threatened to just get a new 30c.f. LG fridge, but today they run over $3000. Our LG washer and dryer have been wonderful and trouble-free for 7 years.
No way will I get a Samsung. Just my opinion from personal experience. Others here have reported they like their Samsung fridges (except obviously Steve). If I were lookin to replace our reliable and adequate Dometic with a residential one, I’d consider Bill’s suggestion of Fischer-Paykel, although I can’t see a 170RF online.

DW loves the new fridge but she does miss the pot drawers. I could have cut them down a couple of inches and all would still fit, but the fridge now sits closer to the floor and DW is a bit height-challenged so I think it works better this way.

Did you have a heater register under the fridge also? If so how did you handle it? Thanks.

Yes, Ill keep it for you. I can't guarantee the seals, I have been trying to find some to replace the ones all the way around. They are not torn up or anything.
