All,

Just got off the phone with a Dometic customer service guy and
registered my fridge for the recall.  I was told that the fix involved
replacing the "boiler tube" and that they were allowing 20 - 25 mins
for this fix.  Parts will be available for repair centers on April
16th.

Has anyone else talked with Dometic on this?

I have also talked with a repair facility that is going to do the work
on my fridge and they told me that Norcold had a similiar, if not the
same, recall about a year ago.  I guess Dometic is catching up.  He
mentioned that the issue with the leak mostly happens when the cooling
unit develops a blockage. With the bockage in place the cooling unit
begins to heat and this is when the tube breaks causing the fire if
running on gas.  Now HE mentioned the sheild and some sort of
component that will measure the temperature on the cooling unit.  When
the component senses that the cooling unit is too hot, don't know what
the definition of to hot is, it will then shut down the gas to the
fridge.  Has anyone heard any of this?

I guess I'm hearing two stories and was looking to find out what
others have heard.
