The yellow stuff is NOT supposed to be there.
The coach smells like ammonia and there is not much we can do about it since the refrigerator is still venting. I have fans on the back of the fridge to suck out the ammonia and windows and vents open inside. Our food is scattered around the resort in friend’s refrigerators. Two placed gave me a $2000 estimate for a new cooling unit and one really doesn’t want to do it after I told him that once we got the fridge out of the cabinet we will have to lift it over the kitchen counter to get room to work on it, all 230 lbs of it. It will take a week to order the cooling unit at a cost of $1500. I called Dometic and asked about the recall and they told me I was on my own since it is one of the few that is NOT covered. The recall states, a stress crack could cause the ammonia/hydrogen solution to drip down on the gas burner and cause a fire. Huh? Take a look at the photo above and tell me what you think. I have a few other places to call to see if I can get someone to tackle this job. I might have to do the job myself. I will need about 3 other guys to help me get the thing out and back in but once I get it out I can take my time and do it right.
Looks to me like a stress crack has caused the ammonia/hydrogen solution to drip down on the gas burner. I'd be careful...might cause a fire!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I wouldn't give up on having Dometic foot the bill, this looks like they narrowed the field of units recalled to save them money, hoping that only a handful outside the recall would fail. Then they just blow them off, and half of those folks will just go away and pay out of their pockets.
