We replaced our refrigerator for a norcold 1210 im s# 27828629 cooling unit s#27825781 in september 2017. This unit has been used about 3 months since that time. On 6/27/19 I noticed water under it and investigated its source. Found pin holes in a weld underneath the leveling chamber spewing ammonia.
