Travel Forum / Travel Types / RV Travel / July 2008Dometic Fridge Recall
I just had my fridge recalled. They put a sort of shield around the burner and maybe a sensor too. While I realize that it was rather warm here in Ohio this past weekend, it seemed to take far longer to cool down than I had usually expected. The unit was dead level as it gets. I was wondering if anybody else had a similar experience. >I just had my fridge recalled. They put a sort of shield around the burner >and maybe a sensor too.

Elliot, You can check for your fridge here... http://www2.dometicusa.com/recall.php Hunter >Elliot, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Hunter Thanks. I was not clear that this was the same recall we kicked around a while back. Mine is a one door model and is not on the list. Elliot Richmond Itinerant astronomy teacher >Thanks.

When it was first posted my fridge wasn't on it.... but then they added more models and mine was on it so don't assume yours isn't if you only checked the first time.

I don't know what they did to mine. They had it for about 1/2 hour and said it was fixed. Hunter > I just had my fridge recalled. They put a sort of shield around the burner > and maybe a sensor too.

I was wondering if > anybody else had a similar experience. I had mine done. The 1st time I fired up the fridge after that, the MH was on my driveway tilting towards the street. I had wood under the rear dualies and the rear scissor levelers pushing up as high as they could. The unit was still not completely level. The fridge came up very fast. The next time I fired it up from a warm start it took hours. So, it looks like, in my case, it varies from time to time .... or my feeble brain varies from time to time in perception of passing time. BTW, I have found that when starting the fridge from warm, it "seems" to start faster from propane than from AC, but reread my last sentence. Art >> I just had my fridge recalled.

Is "Ice Cream" the new code name for that now? Nate <s> |
