Dometic Corp. has a recall on some units that may contain a potential defect. The defected 2-door refrigerators were manufactured between June 1, 2003 and Sept. 30, 2006. The potentially affected refrigerators have model designations set forth below:

RM-2652xxxx

RM-2662xxxx

RM-3662xxxx

RM-3663xxxx

RM-2852xxxx

RM-2862xxxx

RM-3862xxxx

NDR-1062xxxx

 

The Possibly affected units will have the serial numbers beginning with the following digit combinations:

320xxxxx through 352xxxxx

401xxxxx through 452xxxxx

501xxxxx through 552xxxxx

601xxxxx through 639xxxxx

The potential safety related defect is associated with the cooling unit at the back of the refrigerator cabinet. A fractional percentage of the potentially affected ref. have experienced a fatigue crack in the area of the welds between the broiler tube and the heater pockets. A fatigue crack may release a sufficient amount of pressurized coolant solution into an area where an ignition source is present. Under certain limited conditions, the released coolant could ignite and result in a fire.

in order to have a fire, all of the following conditions must exist.

#1. The refrigerator must be on and normally operating;

#2. The boiler tube must develop a throughway fatigue crack within a specific size range;

#3. There must be a release of the cooling solution at a concentration and temperature within its range of flammability;

#4. There must be ignition source present

If any of these conditions are not present, a release of the cooling solution will not result in a fire. A broiler fatigue crack with loss of cooling solution without ignition would result in a non-operational refrigerator and does not present a fire safety issue.

If you have a 2-door refrigerator that has one of the model & serial numbers listed you can call 1-877-898-7088 and they will direct you to your nearest service center.

Hope this helps...
