NORCOLD Refrigerator Removal

[Grey_Mountain]

Refrigerator is belly up. Going to replace with a residential model.

Any tips on how to get the existing fridge out of the motorhome?

Thanks.

Old fridge out, replacement in. Through the door. Fairly easy job.

Installed a Magic Chef 10.1, $499.

Thanks for all the tips.

I will also consider that option.

This should work, if you remove the frig doors, and maybe the RV screen door. That worked for mine when I did it.

I have a tractor with a front end loader. Looks like through the window is the route to go.
Thanks for the information.
Getting ready to seel the rig.

Have you thought about just replacing the cooling unit? I replaced my norcold cooling unit two years ago with a totally 110v system works great. You may want to look into JC Refrigeration products. Its really an easy DIY process. https://jc-refrigeration.com/

Its not getting the old one out but the new one in. A lot of folks have done it so hopefully one of those will help.

Good Luck

Looks like out the window is the way to go.
