Norcold 618872 AC Heating Element

Easy install, and they work great. simple as that. used in our Country Coach from 2006. we did the Amish replacement refrigeration unit and these workd great.

They were exact replacements. Got here quickly and got my fridge back online! If you have a Norcold 4 door 1200 Series refrigerator that needs a new set of 225 Watt 120 Volt heaters for the generator section of the absorber, then this is the right part. (Buy two and replace them both cause if one is out, the other one is probably about to go out as well.) Thanks!A little tip to those DIY folks that are diagnosing their own units. I am a 45 year veteran HVAC mechanic. I know a lot about Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, and Heating. That said, I never worked on these propane fired Ammonia absorbers in RV's. I did work 500 ton Lithium Bromide Absorbers that were fired by steam from very large natural gas fired steam boilers. The principle is the same. Just the refrigerant is "water" on a lithium bromide adsorber where ammonia is the refrigerant on these RV absorbers. So the tip is this. If you have the same scenario I had where sometimes the 5 amp glass fuse would blow and sometimes it doesn't after replacement, then there is a good chance that one of the two elements is going bad. I have two very good Fluke multi-meters and when I was first doing the diagnosis, both heaters ohmed out at the resistance specified in the service manual of around 63 ohms. However in my case, my meter was showing some very high resistance to the case of the heater. (Meg-Ohms) many cheap meters will not read this. It shows up easly with a megohmmeter. Not a lot of people own these meters and they are too expensive for a DIY person to justify buying one. But what I visually noticed is that the new heaters have a white colored teflon looking area the yellow and black wires go into at the heater. My old ones looked very melted away and part of the copper in the wire was showing at the point of connection on the heater. A slight amount of movement of the yellow wire (hot leg) on one of the two heaters caused the wire to disconnect itself from the resistive element in the metal case and the wire fell out of the heater. This was not caused by tugging on it, but one should be able to pull lightly on the wire and not have it pull out of the heater. So now it visually became "The" bad heater that was intermittently blowing the fuse. The other heater didn't look very good where it enters the heater casing either. I replaced both. Now I'm going to replace the thermistor inside the box so that I can lower the setting from 9 back down to a resonable number and have the fridge nmaintain 38 degrees and the freezer maintain 0 or below. Hope this helps others...

The product was a perfect fit. The challenge was in removing the old elements without destroying the high temp insulation around the boiler. So glad these were available!

Fits properly and currently working well in my Norcold fridge.

Perfect replacement! The connector was beaten up. Maybe it was installed before.

Had ordered two and got them installed on my refrigerator but my refrigerator was 18 years old and the boiler couldn’t handle the pressure and I had to replace the refrigerator anyway

Installing the new heating elements was a piece of cake. Some of the reviewers said it was harder getting the old ones out than the new ones in, true but if you just twist them back and forth while applying upward pressure that took about five minutes. Getting the fridge out and back in was another matter. Out wasn't too bad, you have gravity helping, lol. I found that getting it back in, I'm 62 years old and there's not a lot of room in my Itasca for two people to work, was another challenge. Had a beer and considered the matter and came up with a plan. Friend has a transmission jack I borrowed, slid the fridge up on that with an appropriate sized piece of plywood underneath then jacked it up and slid it back into the opening. All is well.

Perfect!! After triple checking to be sure I had the correct element for my fridge, I ordered. It was a SUBSTANTIAL cost saving over ordering it from the dealer, and it was a genuine Norcold part manufactured in Sidney, OH. Even came in their (Norcold) packaging. I bought two elements expecting that because one failed the second would be close behind. Got TWO elements from Amazon for about the same price of one from a dealer. Talk about 'markup'!Be sure you check and recheck for the correct part number. BTW-It's not an easy task to replace these. They tend to be welded in from heat and rust. Quite a chore.

Product worked as advertised

fonctionne très bien.Merci
