During the Summer My refridgerator stopped cooling due to a cooling unit breakdown. A new fridge was just too expensive for my pocket book, and I did not really want one with control circuit boards.
Sooooo. YAAAA HOOOO
My cooling Unit Just arrived. 6 weeks since I ordered it. They had to make one for me (too old. Ha ha) $650 Canadian Dollars. To my door and I don't need to ship the old one back!!
Im ready ( been waiting a long time) to install it before my coach goes in for winter storage. (Im lucky im beating the snow)
Im pretty Capable and the instructions look pretty easy. Is there anything that I should know??
(Easy now it's my first time!! 😉)

Some (maybe all) cooling units require a thermal mastic compound when installing. Did you receive a tube with your purchase. If not you will need to verify if it is required.

Thanks Rick
I see that a tube came with the unit. Looking at the instructions. They say to use the entire tube. WOW. That seems like a lot of material. But it probably will spread the area of heat travel over a larger area. After taking the old cooling unit out, there seemed to be only a small amount put on the tubes from a previous replacement. (This will be at least the second replacement cooling unit for this fridge.
