Fridge springs leak

[jimcol]

Returned to the rig from a day of sightseeing in Northern Vermont, retrieved beer from fridge, popped the top. Wasn't quite cold. Linda's coke was the same. Go to the back of the RV, remove fridge vent panel and see the dreaded green fluid on the floor of the compartment accompanied by the smell of ammonia. Now I have always said if that unit shots crap it will be replaced with a regular household 110 vac unit. (Probably around $400) We just don't camp off grid anymore. But being the inquisitive type I at least had to explore all possibilities. Complete new RV fridge about $1500. New cooling unit from RV Cooling Unit Warehouse $635. Reconditioned cooling unit from RV Cooling unit Warehouse $425 after coil exchange.
The warehouse, Dave Force, provided me with a pdf file with directions for changing the cooling unit. He also suggested watching a couple of YouTube video's showing the process. It just doesn't look that complicated. Dave has been great in answering all my questions.
I'm sure I heard about this company off this forum but a search has yielded no results. Questions to fellow MOC'ers. Has anyone used this company? Has anyone done the cooling unit replacement and what has your experience been? I'm also interested in what others have done when their refer goes south. Thanks, Jim C
