OWN A DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR IN MY RV. AT THE TIME THE BOILER CRACKED, MY REFRIGERATOR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL, NOW THAT IT IS INCLUDED, DOMETIC WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS OUT. THE RECALL LETTER DOES NOT STATE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT HAVING A WARRANTY AT THIS TIME ON THE PRODUCT, IT IS THERE DEFECT, NOT MY PROBLEM IF IT TOOK THEM SO LONG TO FIGURE IT OUT. THE POINT IS MY BOILER CRACKED AND LEAK WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A POTENTIAL FIRE, NOW SINCE MY WARRANTY IS UP ON MY REFRIGERATOR DOMETIC WILL NOT FIX IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS LISTED IN THE RECALL. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS ISSUE. WILL HAVE TO LOOK IN TO TAKING FURTHER ACTION IT THEY CAN NOT RESOLVE THIS. *TR
