| Recall service for norcold refrigerator installed in 2005 winnebago adventruer motorhome. recall notice received nov. 10. 2010 from norcold. i called my service/dealer to get it repaired. today they informed me the part would not be available until the first week of january, 2011. i called norcold and was told the parts were on back order and would be shipped about dec. 13th. i feel this is completely wrong that i have to wait so long to get something repaired that they sold as being ok. now they say it could cause a fire. we have been using this for over five years and they are just now telling us it is dangerous? also, we have reservations to go to florida that were made long before we got the recall. i called immediately to get it repaired and it is now going to be two or three months baefore i can use the refrig and that means i can't use the motorhome to go to florida and stay fgor the winter. why has this been allowed to draag out so long and why can't repairs be done in a more timely fashion? refr | |||

| 2005 winnebago adventurer model 35a developed a problem with the burner staying lit.***no answer required***. *mr the burner for the hot water heater would not stay lit. when the tank wa lit the burner remained on until the consumer closed the outside compartment door. at that time the consumer could hear the flame smother out. the tank would light again for a short period of time then go out again. the a/c pulls 22-24 amps of but the unit is on equipped for only 30 amp service which does not allow for the use of other appliances without putting shutting down compressor 2 and putting the fan on low. the consumer feels that the unit should have 50 amp service to accommodate the features furnished. *nm | |||
