If you do a search on this forum, I believe that you will find numerous entry's on Norcold problems and solutions. Many of them relate to door alignment and the flap not closing correctly.

Frustrated is putting it lightly. Now I'm getting pissed off! My trailer, for the second time, is at an RV repair shop, been there pushing 2 months and still no progress. I've been in touch with Jason Tippet at GD Customer Service and about to call him again and see if he can put more pressure on Norcold to replace the fridge. If everyone else would do the same, MAYBE something can be done. Like the above poster hinted, a call to my attorney. Lemon law?

I have done the search on the forum as well as checked the door flap and seals with no luck. Will call dealer and GD when I get back home. Very frustrating especially since it's not two months old and the first time using it. Seemed to be working at home prior to leaving.

Link to frig flap fix.
This is very easy to do. Take off the 2 screws holding the top hinge bracket. Pull up on the complete door to remove it from the hinge pin. Put small thin washer on top of hinge pin. Put door back on. Reattach hinge on top. Test swing of door flap.

Our door flap also closed only halfway. I did manage to solve this problem, at least temporarily. The bottom of the flap was catching on the made in USA sticker. I removed the sticker and all of the residue, wiped a thin layer of silicone over the area, and now the flap closes every time. Like I said, it is probably only temporary but I have no problem wiping silicone over that spot as often as I need to to get the flap to close. Much easier than dealing with warranty issues and all of the associated companies. Now if I could only find an easy solution to the freezer never getting below 20 degrees! The warranty dealer closest to us charges A $259 administrative fee if you did not buy your unit from them! Norcold only covers the parts, so we would be out labor costs and this lovely administrative fee which is beyond unacceptable!

Agreed. Have you talked to GD about this? Allowing dealers to opt out of providing free warranty service seems short-sighted.
When I was looking for service in Michigan earlier this year I was initially told by the service rep of a well-known GD dealer that they weren't accepting GD warranty work. I called GD and was told that could not be the case, so I called the dealer service manager. He skated on what his employee had told me and began arranging a date for the warranty service but I got the impression that his employee wasn't out there on his own - he was following instructions. Ended up deciding that probably wasn't the best place to expect quality work to be done.Mark - 2018 Solitude 310GK - 2017 F-350 diesel SRW short box - Pullrite Superglide hitch

I lived in Michigan when we sold everything and went on the road. I Generally know the dealer, I think, and would stay a long way away from them.

20 degrees where in the freezer? The coldest spot should be at the left top shelf.
Test there with a remote thermostat if possible.
A thin washer on bottom left door hinge pin will also help with the flip of the flap.

Thanks, Ken. Unfortunately, that's exactly where the thermometer is.
