Dometic refrigerator

[Tom Warner]

John I cant see how a dometic could ever establish a vacuum in the
refrigerator if the vent tube that runs from a tray just under the freezer
to the outside is properly routed and not plugged. I have never had that
problem with either new Dometic that I installed over the last 5 years.
