The recall 06e076000 by dometic corporation for defective rv refrigerator did not address the root of the problem which was incorrectly manufactured cooling unit. Instead it provides a patched up solution in case of fire, but did not prevent it. The dometic corporation should replace the cooling unit to fix the problem properly.*Ak
