Bill:

Just got the recall letter from Dometic in the mail today and it gave the model and serial number info (also available at www.dometicusa.com )along with instructions on how to turn off the gas flow to fridge right at the valve in the event the fridge is in the recall list. The top photo shows a small slotted head adjustment screw on the body of the gas valve (valve is hidden behind sheet metal mod in second photo) and the slot is currently in line with the gas flow which is ON. Turning that screw 90 degrees so that the slot is perpendicular shuts OFF the gas flow. They caution to do this if your fridge is one of the affected series in the unlikely event that "someone" may inadvertantly turn the fridge on by mistake.

Ours looks just like the top photo (prior to mods) but is also NOT in the categories listed. I guess we could do the mod ourselves to be doubly sure that a meltdown wouldn't set fire to the plastic outer access door.
