RE: [SilverStreak] now worried about my new fridge!

["Ken Wilson" <ke5dfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Iota units are solid state and much cleaner power than the old buzz
boxes....also a lot less weight than the 38# monster.  Maybe 2#.

If you can, get a new fuse block and replace the old glass fuses with the
newer blade type.  You may have to look at a marine supply to get one that
will take the larger fuses.  None of the auto places around me carried them.
I wound up ordering mine from a amateur radio supply.

Be sure and tag all of the wires before you pull them so you know what goes
where.

Eddie, flattery will get you everywhere.

LaDona,
Good deal on the fridge. There is a freebie for ya! They will replace the 
whole thing with a new one I am pretty sure. Pursue it! Many folks 
successfully use the Dometic. It's a good unit. Dometic knows their 
liability and this problem. Check their other recalls, not just yours and 
see the repetitive same recalls. Don't be alarmed, just go thru the process 
and you will get a new fridge. A plus to it is they put a less sensitive 
controller that is more forgiving of the "wild" high finish rate of coach 
converter chargers.

I see Ken replied on the Buzz box. I never bought a new one but I lurk on 
the VAL and they really know their stuff. Join that. Ask them. They know. In

the meantime I would follow any suggestions by Ken Wilson. He really knows 
his stuff. He doesn't say much but when he does, I listen.
