Dometic's sbh kit was installed to turn of gas to ref. during use tube ruptured and ammonia came out and the gas did not turn off. the refrigerator now does not work at all. we went back to the place that did the recall replacement kit who then called dometic and we were told they are not doing anything to replace the cooling units. dometic has since had a recall on the ref. from 2003 to 2007. we feel they should replace the unit as the failure was due to their defect. *tr |
