They don't FIX anything--just put a deflector alongside the burner chimney to keep any leaking gas away from the burner flame. This is one of the biggest scams I've ever come across. A known defect (cracked cooling tubes) and they just put a shield on the unit to keep it from igniting the burning gas. I admit it may make the leaking cooling unit safer from a fire, but doesn't address the basic flaw. Friends of ours had the "fix" done on their 2002 SB 30FKS--after their last trip out, put it in storage. Came back several months later--fridge didn't work. Lower part of the burner tube was coated in yellow dust. Dometic won't cooperate AT ALL on a replacement. From the looks of the mess in the back of the fridge area, if it had leaked while the burner was lit, the shield wouldn't have helped.

Are there any efforts going forward toward forcing Dometic to replace the cooling units?
