We have a 2002 gulfstream mako 5th wheel trailer purchased new. The dometic rv refrigerator model rm 2652 failed to cool and so we ran it on propane. It never cooled and the refrigerator gas flue began to get hot and started to smoke, we turned off the gas. We called dometic and they said they have no knowledge of this problem. We had the recall done two years ago. Beware of this product! They will not help with their product and it could have burned our trailer and us.

Recalls 2
Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailer
- What is wrong
- Gulf stream is recalling certain recreational vehicles and fifth wheel trailers equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
- Risk
- The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
- Remedy
- Gulf stream is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The recall began on march 23, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1‑800‑767‑9101 or gulf stream at 1‑574‑773‑7761.
