Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A GROUND WIRE BETWEEN THE JUNCTION BOX AND THE TRAILER FRAME.

RV REFRIGERATOR WORKED FINE. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FROM DOMETIC FOR VOLUNTARY RECALL DUE TO LP GAS PROBLEM. TOOK RV TO GENERAL RV DEALERSHIP FOR INSTALLATION OF "DOMETIC SBH KIT". AFTER INSTALLATION, REFRIGERATOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, IT WILL COOL, BUT THEN STOP WORKING.
