A law firm is going after Norcold and Dometic for RV refrigerator fires:
Hagens Berman is investigating Norcold and Dometic for these companies’ defective gas-absorption refrigerators that can explode or catch fire. The defective refrigerators have been installed in thousands of motorhomes, trailers, fifth-wheels and pop-ups, as well as boats. We believe Dometic and Norcold should be held responsible for this public safety hazard.
The defective refrigerators jeopardize the safety of RV and boat owners and damage property. Norcold and Dometic’s gas-absorption fridges contain a cooling unit with a steel boiler tube that can crack, allowing highly flammable gases – including hydrogen gas – to escape. Experts discovered that a seam in the tube corrodes relatively rapidly even as the rest of the metal appears in good condition.Wow! Old Post, but hey, hard to leave this set, sorry folks.
If I were Dometic or Norcold, I would have went after you for Public Slander, from your comment, “the defective refrigerators”. Who are/were you to be able to state that? An Engineer with years of experience? You are, were not in a position to make such an statement.
Anyways, IMO Prementive Maintenance is key to most all areas of life and mechanics. Meaning, keeping a proactive approach to maintenance and keeping an eye on things.
How old is my device? Do I do yearly or quarterly look overs of such device? Do I exchange the specific parts which will show wear and tear after a certain number of years of service or not? If not, you are not keeping an eye on things and taking care of your part of things.
Just my thoughts.
