Safety recall on Dometic fridge/freezer 2004-2007 Forums

wobby

2 weeks old and the gas wouldn't work on my Dometic fridge rang Lowdham Leisureworld who gave me the telephone number of the local Dometic engineer. Rang the man and he said it was one of three parts faulty two of which he had in stock the other he would order and ring me back. Six day later he rang and the following day he came and replace the control panel, first class service. While he was with me I ask him about the recall and he said it was down to the wrong length of screw being used and that Dometic was not paying them to make a home visit, rather one has to take the van back to the dealer and they rectify the problem --- strange.

Hi Everyone

In order to keep discussion on this important subject in a single thread I have merged the two separately running threads together into a single thread.

Hi

Ive just had the recal done on my fridge, quick job which took about 20 - 30 mins to do. The engineer was from Spire Leisure services (Mr Armstrong 01903 715121) who is happy for owners to contact him re the recall. I think hes from the Chichester area.

He told me of 3 failures that he knew of 2 where the screws failed and the fridge had to be repaired and one when the owner was driving with the gas on and its resulted in fire damage to the side of his MH. Underlines the importance of switching the gas off before you move off.

Hi all

I took the motorhome in today for the Dometic recall.They discovered that the problematic screw which is the recall,was infact loose and wouldn`t tighten back up.they replaced the screw and the whole process took ten minutes.For anyone in the Essex area..I took it to Cranham caravans on the A127 in upminster.
