AN RV DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR RECALL REFERRED ME TO THIS SITE FOR FILING A COMPLAINT. IT APPEARS THAT THIS MAY NOT BE THE CORRECT SITE. IF IT ISN'T, I AM NOT SURPRISED. PER THE RECALL, I CALLED THE DOMETIC SPECIFIED PHONE # AND RECEIVED A DETERMINATION THAT MY REFRIGERATOR QUALIFIES FOR THE RECALL. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE PERSON WHO I TALKED WITH WAS ALMOST ILLITERATE AND HAD A VERY STRONG SOUTHERN ACCENT WHICH MADE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND. ALSO, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT I HAVE TO TAKE MY RV TO A SERVICE CENTER FOR INSTALLATION OF A REPAIR KIT. I BELIEVE THAT SINCE IT IS A DOMETIC DEFECT, THE REPAIR FACILITY SHOULD DO THE REPAIR AT THE LOCATION WHERE I KEEP THE RV. *JB
