Just got my claim covered by Dometic. My refer stopped working 4 weeks ago, and we found the weld had opened up and allowed a coolant release. Happened while unit was on AC, so no fire occured. Dometic accepted the diagnosis by my RV dealer and a new cooling unit and recall kit has been shipped. Should arrive next week.

Question: Should I replace the AC heat element with one with lower wattage? Is this an easy install?
