ksprit Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Decided to pull the Norcold frig out of our 1990 Spirit and have it repaired. "How tough could it be to remove" I asked myself. Pulled the door, perimeter screws, access plate from the bottom. Outside, make the gas and elec. disconnects. Labeled the wires. Pulled ground wire and screw from wood and flange mount. Still can't slide it out. What am I missing ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Have you looked on the net to see if you can find the 'Installation Instructions' for your model fridge? Might provide some clues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksprit Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 That was next. The manual shows installation, but in a very broad stroke. I just don't want to pry so hard as to damage the cabanit. Figure I'm miss-en that "no see em" fastener Have you looked on the net to see if you can find the 'Installation Instructions' for your model fridge? Might provide some clues.

Looked on that plate in back on the bottom, and three holes, only one had the ground wire, the other two were empty..... mine had screws around the front as well as back. on the back side they were into the floor. you'll find them all eventually.

Dolphinite no longer here Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I just removed my refrigerator and ran into the same problem. Turns out that it was just plain stuck in place. After 27 years the foam weatherstripping around the inside edge of the front had just deteriorated and, over the years, some liquids had been spilled on the counter and run over the edge and down the front making the refrigerator even more stuck in place. If you're sure all the fastenings and wires are disconnected, try pulling a little harder while wiggling side to side. Wiggling the refrigerator, that is...
