Read the cooling-unit serial number, which can differ from the refrigerator cabinet serial number. Confirm the original element style, terminal and mounting arrangement and whether the manufacturer-prescribed service kit is required. These refrigeration systems normally use two AC heater elements; verify quantity needed against the appliance parts diagram. Electrical service should follow Norcold's instructions.
