FineArtist Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I've got an old 1989 Warrior I just acquired with a working Norcold 875EG2 refridgerator in it. Unfortunately it is missing the knob (selector switch) which allows it to be switched from gas to Electricity. As I found out, they are virtually impossible to find. They have a very long (1"), "D" fitting off the back end of the switch. If anyone has one of these knobs, I'd make it worth their while to part with it. Or, if you might have a lead on where to find one, please let me know. Pliers are such a pain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Try Radio Shack. They might possibly have a knob that will work ? Won't hurt looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The selector knob for that fridge is available from PPL V parts in Texas.

mission mike Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Linda s Thanks for putting me on the right track, unfortunately with my Norcold fridge I can't make out the model #, the door has been shifting back and forth and kind of erased it, but I can make out a serial # so I will have to give them a call. thanks again Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 If you both have 89"s by the same maker you can be pretty sure the model number is the same. PPL's online catalog is enormous and someone else said they called and were told they didn't have this part. I took it to checkout and it was ready to take my money so I think they do have the part but maybe not really good people answering the phone.

mission mike Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hi Linda S I went through all the motions and ordered the Norgold fridge knob today, will keep you posted. thanks again Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Cool definately let us know when you get it and if it's the right part. A member of the toyota campers group was the one who was told they didn't have it, probably from just a lazy employee. I'd like to let him know that someone actually got one LS Hi Linda S I went through all the motions and ordered the Norgold fridge knob today, will keep you posted. thanks again Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Wow I wonder how many of those thousands of parts they list complete with price even exist. I'm kind of shocked. I haven't ordered from them but thinking they had all these replacement parts for my old camper stuff made me feel more secure. Now I find out I'm probably going to have to buy all new appliances when they break. The site Derek posted looks like a possibility for the knobs. maybe you can jury rig something together that will work LS Hi Linda S No Luck!!!!

mission mike Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Derek up north thanks for the web site, but I don't see anything there that comes close. I didn't mean to hijack this post from "fine artist" just that I would like to get hold of the same part As he mentioned the knob has about a 1" shaft, also it is hollow with a D shaped fitting. Linda s I sent you a PM, thanks also for your offer Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 One last try. This place repairs rv refrigerators and they are in Everett, Wa. They might have an old knob. They also have a forum so maybe one of their customers can find one for you. http://www.rvmobile.com/ LS Derek up north thanks for the web site, but I don't see anything there that comes close.
