I have a 1988 40' WB which has the original Dometic 3 way (AC/Gas/12VDC)refrigerator. The unit has been trouble-free but I feel like I'm living on borrowed time until it has a problem. Is there a reliable source which provides a quality rebuild of these refrigerators, or would it be more cost effective to replace it with a new one when it does fail?

Dometic offers various rebuild components for its refrigerators including new cooling units for a number of older models. Call Dometic at 219/294-2511 for information or 800/544-4881 for a list of service centers.

I have a SP36 which had a Dometic that quit with an amonia leak. After some research I concluded that a rebuild would be expensive and not as satisfactory as a new unit. Ended up with a new Norcold that was taller than Dometic. With some matching filler and edge material from Wilsonart (laminate) I was able to raise the top of the refer opening by shortening the top cabinet and make room for the Norcold. If you look real closely you might be able to see that it is not the original refer. Unfortunately I could find no acceptable unit that would fit the opening. If you want more info give me a reply with a telephone mumber.
