My old friend Bud Johnson, WI5G, was a Foretravel service manager and knows more about RVs and RV equipment than I know about everything I know about. He says that RV fridges that totally stop working will often -- usually! -- start working like new if they are dismounted and turned upside down for a day, then righted, and powered up after another day of sitting right side up. He's fixed many of them that way, with no other service needed.
That's all good, but if I go to all the trouble of pulling that sucker, I'm going to put a modern fridge in its place. With the old fridge outside on the ground (or on a picnic table), I'll try Bud's suggestion; if the fridge then works, I'll offer it for sale. I'll leave it running outside and be able to offer prospective buyers a cold soda pop from it as proof. WI5G says I might get as much as $500 or so for a working, used Norcold -- which would pay for the new fridge with a little left over.
