We haven't bitten the bullet yet but in the spring I think a new Nova Cool will replace our old Norcold
If you have not already done so you might also check out Isotherm.* When we thought our 1997 Norcold was giving up the ghost we started researching replacements and decided on a specific Isotherm unit.* We did not want to modify our galley cabinet nor switch to a different type of refrigeration system.* So we were looking for a drop-in (more or less) AC/DC unit.* The Isotherm seemed head and shoulders above the others of the size and type we need.* It uses a Danfoss compressor, which is a Good Thing, and is available in "regular" metal as well as all-stainless.

Our Norcold "fixed" itself (we have no idea why it did what it did or why it stopped doing it) and it's been running fine for almsot two years now.* But it will die someday and when it does, we'll replace it with the Isotherm model we selected if that still proves to be the best replacement.
