*note that this AC heater works on both the older 1200 and newer 1210 models, however, if you have a 1210, you will likely need to use metal hose clamps to mount the new AC heater. The slot that the heater drops into is too narrow and the 630807 has been discontinued. This is the only option available to you, but rest assured that it's the proper specifications and will work for all 1200 and 1210 models.

*The cooling unit serial number can be found on the cooling unit itself. Remove the rear side panel on the outside of your RV to access the back of the refrigerator.

Troubleshooting 

Potential problems that a new ac heater/ heating element could solve:

• 1200 or 1210 displaying "ac he" code
• No cooling on AC mode
• Insufficient cooling on AC mode

Installation

Time: 30 minutes or less

Tools: 

• PB Blaster (optional)
• Rubber mallet (optional)
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Gloves

Steps:

• Turn refrigerator off for several hours to let things cool down on and around the cooling unit
• Unplug refrigerator from the AC outlet in the back and turn refrigerator off from front control panel
• Remove power board cover
• Take a picture of the board before disconnecting AC wires
• AC heater wires are labeled AC HT HI and AC HT LO (both leads are interchangeable)
• Follow the wires over to the flu
• The AC Heating rod drops down into a slot on the flu that is buried within the insulation.
• Remove tin shroud that is holding insulation around the flu and locate the AC heater/ AC heating element
• If the AC heater does not slide out easily, you may need to use PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench to break up corrosion. Gently tap with a rubber mallet and it should come out just fine.
• Slide new AC heater into the old slot and connect its wires in place of the old. 
• Once everything is connected, turn refrigerator on and plug it back in to verify that there is no AC heater fault displayed.
