Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In may of 2005 the dometic fridge in my rv developed a coolant leak due to a crack in the cooling chamber. a local rv repair center told me it would cost $583 to have the unit replaced. i did not want to pay that amount and replaced the defective unit with an electric fridge and the rv repair center discarded the defective unit. later i was contacted by dometic by mail with a recall letter on dometic refrigerators because of a defect that caused the cooling chambers to develop a crack that causes the coolant to leak. i supplied dometic with the required information to obtain compensation for my defective unit but was denied reimbursement due to the fact that the defective unit was replaced before the august 2005 recall notification. i believe this is wrong due to the fact that me fridge was one of the defective units and failed to operate. *tr
