Cabin Fridge Control Replacement - 2001 380 Sundancer

[William Sabourin]

Hi - My cabin fridge/freezer stopped working today - does anyone know where I could buy a replacement thermostat/control, or if that's even worth it? Just trying to avoid having to buy s new fridge/freezer... Cheers, Bill

Which model do you have? If its the original DE461, your probably better off just replacing it as parts are scarce or no longer available.

Not really enough info to completely diagnose, but it could be the thermostat, or the power supply. Both to my knowledge no longer available, and were pretty expensive. You can check here -->>https://thenorcoldguy.com/

As far as replacements, There are a couple choices depending on what you want, and some require some slight modification to the cabinet. The Isotherm and NovaKool come in dual compressor models (one for fridge, one for freezer).

Norcold DE-0061
Vitrifrigo DP2600
Isotherm Cruise 195
Nova Kool RFU 9100/9200

Thanks again for your help - we might just go ahead with a replacement as I like the dual compressor option - I will post when & what we decide - really appreciate your kind help

I'm targeting replacing my cabin fridge this winter. I'm thinking dual compressor as well. I replaced the cockpit fridge last fall with an Isotherm 65. It does a great job keeping drinks ice cold, so, I'm considering the Cruise 195. My only complaint, is I'd like to have a smaller freezer/bigger fridge. The Vitrafrigo checks that box, but I cant argue with Isotherm...pretty nice but expensive.

I bought the Cruise Elegance 65 from here. --> http://www.marinewarehouse.net/isotherm.html

I had the unit shipped on a pallet to a local freight depot and picked it up. Pretty easy.

Easy fix find thermostat and jump it. if it gets cold its probably open and corroded up ohm it out. try adjusting dial but its probably stuck.
Post a pic and I probably can give you a part number that should work.
