I was beside myself why our RV Norcold fridge kept running.
Hot outside - cold outside and it still ran all the time and at any temp we set it at.
Burning through propane on the road & pulling a good chunk of watts off the generator in camp.

One of the girls in her bikini was standing in front of it iand felt a cold blast on her back.
The door flapper seal wasn’t seating all the way. It was hanging up blowing out cold air.

So I went to YouTube and got the fix.
Remove the left door and shim it with a washer on the lower hinge pivot.
Perfect fix.

Plastic hinge cover pops off then a multi bit driver and a washer is all ya need to remove the upper hinge.

Door lifts off and ya pop a washer on the lower hinge. Gives perfect lower clearance and seal flapper works as it should. Remove the lower center mfg decal too.
