Hello all,

Our Dometic 3 way fridge decided to leak amonia while here in north central Florida. We really like the fridge and an easy to fit replacement fridge is not to be had.

We had planned on taking our fridge to Leon Herschberger in Shipshewana, Indiana when this time came, but here we are over 1,000 miles away.

Any recommendations on someone here in Florida to do the job, or advice on taking the fridge out? We have a 78 coach, but it has an added refrigerator access door on the outside.

If the fridge were out, I assume we could still send the cold section to Leon in Indiana for rebuild. Time is no problem, just getting the fridge out without damaging the fridge or the coach interior is the concern.

Thanks,

Don & Susan Jeffers
78 Eleganza II

There are a lot of companies that sell refurbed cooling units for all types
of refers. Stand by to grab your ankles though, it's gonna hurt a bit.

Check with Jim Bounds at the GMC Coop in Orlando. I'm sure he would know what your best option would be.

Order a cooling unit from Leon and have it shipped to you in Fla. Then pull the unit and install the new cooling unit.
