Dometic Fridge Recall (yet another)

Just a question for those who have had the recall completed. Have you noticed the fridge is not as efficient as before? As in it does not seem to cool as well?
Had mine done last summer and didn't use the unit much after. Using it this summer, it didn't seem to cool down as fast on initial startup, and the temp hovered just into the "safe" range on the interior thermometer. I believe I see on the heat shield a temp sensor that shuts down the fridge if that area gets too hot. I'm wondering if mine is a little to close to the burner and shuts down prematurely.
I also have adjusted the little sensor on the inside of the fridge on the fins to see it that would make a difference. No changes...

Thoughts??

Aaron

I had to replace the burner unit after it failed. That was not quite a year ago and so far the thing seems to be working as before. To us it seems to perform about like it did.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but thought this might be the best place to ask this question. My model number is DM2862. When I go to Dometic at: http://www2.dometicusa.com/recall.php and look I don't see any DMxxxx models. I do, however; see a model RM2862 listed. If I select RM2862 as the model number and enter my Serial Number it says that my unit is included in the recall. Have any of you had a recall on the DMxxxx models, or are only the RMxxxx units being recalled?

Thanks for any help on this.

Had the repairs done and used it for 10 days this month. Can't see any difference in the way the frig worked. Watched it with a digital thermometer with the transmitter inside. It was powered by gas on the road and then switched to A/C at destination.

Had the fixes earlier this summer, used it right away with no problems what so ever.
