Like many of you, I?m researching the replacement of my norcold 1201 with a residential fridge. There is a lot of useful information here on this popular topic.
It?s turning out to be frustrating. Picture 01 shows the current situation. There is plumbing underneath so I am only able to drop the bottom about 2?.
Looking at the Norcold specs for the 1201, the cabinet width is 32.4 and height 63.2. Another post indicated the installed floor for the norcold is 1.5? thick. Replacing with 3/4? plywood gives another 1/2" of height.
I?m not ready to pull this unit to get an exact measurement, but unless I?m missing something, I would need a 32 X 66 fridge.
Further complication is picture 2. There is only 30? between the door face of the existing norcold and the stationary cabinetry. (15" from the end of the open door to the cabinetry). This makes french doors preferable but not mandatory.
I?m having a difficult time finding a quality fridge with these specs. The popular Frigidaire LFHT1837 does not appear to be available any more.
Anyone else faced with a similar situation? How did you handle? What fridge did you get?
