How can I find the correct replacement gas burner for my 1994 model Norcold 6162 refrigerator? All listings suggest part #621957, but it's incompatible due to its male gas line fitting. My current setup requires a burner with a fitting that accepts a male gas line. I've tried retrofitting the brass ends without success. Can anyone help with purchasing advice or identifying the right part number?
It appears that the original part number 61705222 is no longer available. The recommended replacement for it is 621597. In situations like this, there are typically two possibilities:
-
Your current setup may have been modified from the OEM specification at some point in the past. If that's the case, the original part—or its replacement—may no longer fit or function correctly without adjustment.
-
The replacement part may require some modification for proper installation. This does happen occasionally when a direct OEM part is discontinued, though such instances are usually noted by the manufacturer. However, in this case, I don’t see any official note indicating that modifications are necessary.
