Our fifth wheel trailer was equipped with a dometic refrigerator (model rm2652, serial # 305-00765). The rig was parked and plugged on our property. I noticed that the refrigerator was not cooling. The on/off switch was in the on position, so I turned the fridge off and on again in an attempt to "reboot". Within seconds the trailer filled with smoke and the horrid smell of ammonia. I emptied the fire extinguisher into the cabinet under the fridge (where the majority of smoke was coming from) and exited the trailer. On the outside of the trailer flames were shooting out of the "fridge access panel". The fire department was called and I began putting out the flames with a garden hose. The fire destroyed that panel completely and was working its way up the walls. The fire chief advised me that many dometic refrigerators had been recalled for this problem. We had never been notified of the recall.

- What is wrong
- Forest river is recalling certain my 2003-2006 motor homes, fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
- Risk
- If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.
- Remedy
- Forest river is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1‑888‑446‑5157 or forest river at 1‑574‑389‑4600.
