OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
20E040000
Equipment:electrical
Reported Jun 18, 2020 · Dometic Corporation
Summary
Dometic Corporation (Dometic) is recalling certain CFX3 Series chest refrigerators (models CFX3 35, CFX3 45, CFX3 55IM, CFX3 75DZ, CFX3 95DZ and CFX3 100), and CFF Series chest refrigerators (models CFF 35, and CFF 45). The protection device on the electrical circuit may fail when the refrigerator is connected to both AC and DC power, allowing the AC/DC power supply to back feed through some or all of the other appliances (such as the air conditioner, water pump, lights, furnace, etc.) that are connected to the 12V DC system. A voltage overload may result, causing DC appliances on the same circuit to fail.
Consequence
A voltage overload may cause electrical damage and may increase the risk of a fire.
Remedy
Dometic will notify owners, and will provide a warning label, and a new revised operating instructions, free of charge. The recall began September 1, 2020. Owners may contact Dometic customer service at 1-888-943-4905.
