Replaced Norcold w/ Vitrifrigo Fridge 01 380

MysticView

Did you ever install the new refrigerator? My 12 year old Vitrifrigo just quit and am beginning the process. Any recommendations or thoughts/lessons would be appreciated. Thanks
 
For what it is worth, in 2015 I replaced my dead Norcold (I think it was a DE0041) with a Nova Kool 5810 5.8cu ft and it has been excellent. Quiet. Very efficient when running on 12v, MUCH more capacity in the same space, and it has an interior light.
Do you have an pix of old refrigerator in place and picture of new one in place?

Is that a dent in the front door or just light ?
Its a dent. Getting it down into the boat was tough. I did it myself and bumped it on the way in before I realized I needed to remove the door to get the unit down the doorway. Its a removable stainless panel so I can replace it, but never got around to it.

That old one looks exactly like my current norcold de541. And your new fit like a glove to the space huh?

I had to cut the opening in the cabinet at the top by about 1/2. Inch. At the bottom in the back there is a stringer and the back of the fridge rests on top. I had to push in some insulation area in one spot by 1/2 to have it fit level. Its tight but fits nicely.
 
Its a shame you probably dont have the old fridge still around? I just need the whole handle assembly. But now it looks easy to replace as well. Nicely done by you!

I should have saved some parts and offered them up tp people. But I cut it up and threw it all out.
