Here are the steps I used to remove the Norcold N300.3 unit from my TM. Before completely removing the refrigerator, check to see how far out it needs to come in order to access and remove the screws holding the arm rest in place.
Removal of Norcold N300.3 3-Way Refrigerator
Removing the Norcold N300.3 refrigerator from the TrailManor cabinet is a fairly easy process provided you follow a few precautions and proceed slowly.
- Make sure to turn off the propane at the tank(s)
- Remove the refrigerator door by unscrewing the top hinge screw then lifting up the door off the lower hinge. Keep track of any washers
- Remove all the screws on each side of the unit collar (4th thumbnail)
- Remove the upper and lower outside refrigerator grills
- Turn the propane valve located at the base of the refrigerator, in the lower compartment to the “off” position (1st thumbnail)
- Unplug the AC power cord (1st thumbnail)
- Carefully disconnect the 2 12v DC wires paying attention to how they connect (1st thumbnail)
- Using 2 wrenches, one to prevent the fixture from moving, disconnect the gas line to the refrigerator (1st thumbnail)
- From the upper grill opening, remove the dryer duct from the divider board (2nd thumbnail)
- Remove the divider board and any insulation that may be present (2nd thumbnail)
- It might be easier in the long run to also remove the dryer hose base plate and place the hose aside (3rd thumbnail)
- Move to the inside of the TM and carefully remove the small piece of quarter round molding at the base of the refrigerator (4th thumbnail)
- You are ready to remove the unit by gently pushing it out of the cabinet from outside the TM. I recommend you push close to the base without pressing on any of the fixtures. The object is to get it to move forward a small amount. The rest of the removal can be done from inside the TM. Place your hand inside the top wall and gently lift up while pulling the unit forward. There may be shims on the floor under the base of the unit. Again, you want to move carefully and slowly paying attention to any significant resistance to movement. If you do feel resistance stop and try to determine where it might be binding.
- Reinstall the unit in reverse order and be sure to do a gas leak test at the gas line connection.

Keep in mind he is working on a different RV. My refrigerator does not have any points of attachment (to the floor) at the bottom, rear location.
