Ours developed the leak, and the recall stuff shut it down. Since it was stored beside the house I didn't catch it till everything in the freezer had spoiled.
Replaced the cooling unit with a brand new Amish cooling unit.

Not trying to hijack this thread,but I also have the Dometic 12CF side by side and need to know if anyone has had to replace the water hose for the ice maker without pulling the whole fridge.That was quoted to me as a 4 hour job.

Haven't done it yet, I need to also. I read some post the it can be done by working through the outside access and the roof vent. Don't remember if it was here or on the National RV group on Yahoo.
