    Norcold 1210T Fan Noise

    The two fans behind my Norcold 1210T refrigerator make just enough noise to be annoying. The fans make a whining noise that is easy to hear when in the kitchen and living room area of my 303RLS. I removed the top exterior refrigerator vent so I could see and hear the fans. Both appear to make the same amount of noise, so I don't think one is defective and creating the noise. Maybe they both are defective? Maybe neither is defective and I'm too sensitive to noise? Do your Norcold fans make noise when running?

    I have a Domestic and the OEM fan was noisy from day 2. The first mod I made was changing the single fan to a pair of fans. After having the trailer for a year I just replaced the fans again because my first replacements were getting noisy.

    I didn't think the noise on the first replacements was the fans but more how I installed them. They were larger fans so they didn't fit the OEM mounting holes.

    I purchased two new fans from Amazon that had the same mounting holes as the OEM bracket. They installed very nicely. I purchased some be quiet! the second time around and just installed. Much quieter and a perfect fit.

    We used our new 303rls for the first time this week with the same refrigerator as yours. It is a little bit noisy but not terrible. I might look into replacing the fan with the quiet type.

    I couldn't stand that obnoxious fan noise any longer, so those noisy fans had to go! I went to Best Buy and bought a couple Corsair fans as replacements. Now, when running the refrigerator on propane I only hear the background sound of the propane burner. When running on electricity the refrigerator is silent. This is a big improvement over the factory Norcold fans!

    Agree with that! Now get two more as spares so you have something to install when these get noisy. You may be able to get a better price off Amazon.

    I have hand my trailer for a year. I replaced my fan the first week and just replaced the two I installed a year ago.
