	Rv refrigerator model #rm2852 serial # 10103282 was recalled in 2007 had it fixed then but 2 years later it still leaked fluid and yellow residue and then all the coolant ammonia and had a fire in the back of the refrigerator. if this was fixed the right way, like replacing the coolant system this would never have happen. lucky no one was in the rv when this happened and we weren't driving down the highway. we think dometic corp. should have fixed all the recalled refrigerator right the first time, now we have a big repair bill, when they knew this could happen. *tr
