Re: [SilverStreak] Fridge woes

Ken,
It's a chemical mix substitute. I read it on all of them but forget now. I 
can send a link or copy it from the spec sheet of one of mine of you want. 
The change let the mfg make the sealed system lighter as the risk 
diminished. That turned into a nightmare for Dometic as the savings bit them 
hard when the too-thin sealed systems began to crack. Thus all the recalls. 
The Norcold recalls were not associated with sealed system failure in all 
the recalls I read at the time. All the Dometic recalls were cracks on the 
ones I was able to read before I fell asleep reading.

I have experienced two old Dometics deliberately compromised. One was by a 
drunk with a gun at a dump site. The other by the same drunk who decided he 
would save the liquid ammonia for his greasy rag washing, so he tried to let 
that out. Ruined his beer.

You will never forget the difference between Bo-Peep ammonia in a bottle and 
concentrated industrial ammonia in a fridge. Big difference! It dropped 
birds in flight! It killed everything green in about an acre diameter. 
Disposal of an old RV fridge is a serious problem but can sure cure a copper 
thief if he finds one on the side of the road. I call that bait and justice.
