DOMETIC RM2652 FRIDGE HAS FRACTURE ON BOILER. DOMETIC HAS OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS FRIDGE. THEY DID A RECALL AND I NEVER WAS NOTIFIED. THEIR RECALL WAS A SAFETY RECALL. BUT IT ALSO STATES THAT IS WE HAVE PROBLEMS LISTED THE RECALL IS VALID FOR US. I HAVE PROBLEMS LISTED AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF REPAIRING MY FRIDGE FOR ME. IF THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR EQUIPMENT I THINK THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE THAN A PIECE OF SHEET METAL THAT I COULD INSTALL ON MY OWN. *TR

SOME DAYS LATER MY BROTHER CAME OVER TO HELP ME REPAIR IT. WE ARE BOTH FIREFIGHTERS, SO OF COURSE WE INVESTIGATED THE CAUSE. WE DISCOVERED A PINCHED A.C. WIRE BETWEEN THE CHASSIS AND FLOOR. I HAVE TAKEN PIX BUT HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND CANNOT BE TOWED BY ME DUE TO THE 12 WIRES BEING MELTED THEREFORE NO BRAKE LIGHTS. I EMAILED THE MANUFACTURER TWICE, BUT HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE. *TR
