Our 4 year old Dometic RM2820 Classic refrigerator developed a pin
hole leak in the cooling unit. The manufacturer's warranty is 3
years.
We now have a new unit which came without the drip pan--just a drain
hose dangling from the box. Tonie's RV received another RM2820 a week
earlier with the same "made on Monday defect." One things for sure,
without a drain pan the floor and possibly the electronics are going
to get wet.
Dometic does seem to be too concerned--will send pan and allow 2/10
of an hour labor for the installation. I guess that's all you can
expect for $1200+
CHECK YOUR UNIT AND MAKE SURE IT HAS A DRAIN PAN.
If you have recently purchased anything from Dometic be sure and mail
the warranty card. They notifiy registered owners of an optional
3 year extended warranty sometime prior to the expiration of the
initial warranty period.
I will remove my latest RM2820 and inspect for signs of pin hole leaks
in the cooling unit when the orginial warranty is about to expire.
If I see corrosion or rust I'll purchase the extended warranty.
