The Hazard!

A small wiring loom may overheat and char when the product is running on 12V DC.

If the overheating/charring occurs, and there is also foreign combustible material in the vicinity behind the refrigerator, it could lead to a fire.

What to do...

Before using your fridge, check the model number and serial number.

If it is in the identified range, stop using the product in DC or AUTO mode and contact Dometic to organise replacement of the defective wiring loom by one of their Service Agents.
