Dometic is blaming Keystone because Keystone is at fault.......ie: dealer having to install baffling/insulation/fan
Majority of RV Fridge lack of cooling issues are due to RV MFGs failing to properly install the fridge in the first place.
Dometic (and Norcold -- Atwood) have specific requirements concerning clearances, baffles, fan ----air flow---draft, insulation.
When RV MFG. fails to follow those requirements the fridge WILL have cooling issues and then they end up being blamed for being junk.
Just do a goggle search for 'Dometic XXXX (model number)Installation Instructions' and see the specific requirements.
Then show dealer and Keystone representative that it wasn't followed as evidenced by one NEW cooling unit failure, another cooling unit failure, baffling/insulation/fan added and STILL cooling unit failure
Or post which model you have?
