Dometic B57915 Brisk II RV Air Conditioner

1. Nobody will repair under warranty. They will only replace the unit under warranty.
2. You will need a Dometic authorized Service center Tech to verify and call Dometic to see if they will cover it. Probably Not, but with the pic they may bend the rules a little.
3. If it was mine and they denied warranty, I would solder the hole, solder in a Schrader valve (NEVER use a clamp on fill valve) and fill the system. uses about 1 lb of 410.
4. This will not be a quick replacement if the approve warranty. It will take about 2 to 5 days depending on how soon the Dometic Tech calls them. Doug

Will do and thanks for the advice.

Yes this does look like a item that would be covered under warranty. I would call the manufacture, and see if they will do anything for you, regardless of the age of the unit.

At least they might be able to point you to a authorized warranty agent, who can repair it. My guess is that I could heat the tubing to 1100F and melt in some solder in a few seconds, then cut off one of the low pressure tubes and install a freon fitting. Install a drier, and put it on a vacuum pump for about 1 hour. Recharge and it will work like normal. This will take about 3-4 hours. Most shop labor is in the $100 per hour range these days.

Sadly most will go for a new unit with a new warranty, rather than a repair basically without warranty (for very long). Hopefully the factory will pick up the tab, or at least try to get them to pay 1/2? And would you be able to return to this repair shop for any warranty work related to this repair? Probably not. .

So I hope that you can find a reasonable repair cost at someplace local. Most will just climb up on the roof and fix it there.
