Refurbishing the Norcold Fridge

Our old Norcold fridge works pretty good. It just looks old and the inside gasket is somewhat worn.

Instead of buying a new fridge, at price tag of $1000, we are refurbishing the old one. I started with faux stainless steel contact paper, the stuff you line drawers with. I know it will not last forever, so I bought enough to cover it again. The faux contact paper cost $20.

Next will be to size and replace the gasket, there is a link online how another man replaced his gasket, so this is what we will do. The replacement gasket cost $30. We are in need of this because our fridge goes on and off more frequently than we would like, which means it is consuming a lot of power. The fridge itself works good, keeps our food cold and our freezer part is working well, keeps meats frozen. But we have to conserve power in the near future, we need a more energy efficient fridge. Hopefully the gasket does the trick!
