Dometic Extended Warranty December 28, 2009, 06:55:08 pm Yahoo Message Number: 108777One of our "Christmas Presents" was that our 2 year, 2 month old Dometic refer bleed out. That's two months beyond full warranty. The labor to replace the cooling unit was $320. Not too bad, just $160 a year. We don't normally purchase extended warranties. A four year extended warranty for the replaced the cooling unit is offered for $90. That works out to $15 a year, which seems reasonable insurance for a known for failure appliance. [two years, plus four more years]Would you buy the extended warranty?Cheers, Don

After 3 failures on a previous Dometic refrigerator (2 new boards, 1 thermocouple), we paid the money for the additional warranty. It's actually the only warranty we've ever bought!Linda Hylton http://map.datastormusers.com/user1.cfm?user=1167 http://earl-linda.blogspot.com/
Re: Dometic Extended Warranty Reply #2 – December 28, 2009, 08:45:34 pm Yahoo Message Number: 108783I'd rather not buy anything from Dometic again. My new $3,000 fridge went bad within the one year factory warranty and Dometic did not honor it.best, paul"Thriving not surviving" - Paul Schaye (at 2008 NYC Marathon) - See our website at www.

Why wasn't your unit covered under "the best warranty in the business" or so they claim. Thanks Paul. John 85FL.

Perhaps the basic reason is they would not agree there was a problem.best, paul"Thriving not surviving" - Paul Schaye (at 2008 NYC Marathon) - See our website at www.

Re: Dometic Extended Warranty Reply #5 – December 28, 2009, 11:11:50 pm Yahoo Message Number: 108790Would you buy the extended warranty? Yes, as a matter of fact, every appliance in the LD is covered with an extended warranty. So far, when the furnace went out a few months after the regular warranty, I pretty near got a good return on my money.Larry in South Texas

Re: Dometic Extended Warranty Reply #7 – December 30, 2009, 06:51:50 pm Yahoo Message Number: 108844$1500 for just the "fridge coils"? I had the whole fridge replaced for less and picked up another cubic foot of space (Dometic 2662 replaced by 3762).Alex Rutchka, SE #4 '05 MB
Re: Dometic Extended Warranty Reply #8 – December 30, 2009, 07:16:06 pm Yahoo Message Number: 108845"$1,500 for just the 'fridge coils'?" I'm with Alex: that seems VERY expensive for a cooling unit replacement, when $1,200-$1,300 will buy you a brand new Dometic or (better still) Norcold fridge from Camping World. Granted those prices don't include installation, but I can't believe installing a fridge would be more expensive than installing a cooling unit. In fact, if anything, it's likely to be less expensive. After all, in both cases a fridge has to be removed and reinstalled... but with a cooling unit swap, it must also be disassembled. If you haven't shopped around for a more reasonable price, I'd suggest doing so. The deal you're being offered now doesn't seem like a good one.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
Re: Dometic Extended Warranty Reply #9 – December 30, 2009, 07:32:01 pm Yahoo Message Number: 108846On a Mid Bath, they had to take out the dinette window to replace the fridge whereas the cooling unit could have come through the door. That was 2 hours at $110/hr. Of course the fridge itself did not have to be disassembled to extract the cooling unit. Not sure how long that would have taken to do. In my case, I also had to pay for a new door panel as the old one is too small for the new door frame. But, for what it's worth, one does get a 3 year warranty on the new fridge.Alex Rutchka, SE #4 '05 MB
