Thetford fridge

(RIP) rustygates · 06-04-2010, 14:26

Hi all,

We went to Ludlow before Easter and sitting in the van on Sat morn and all the gas came out of the fridge ( ammonia ) so there was a scramble for the exit as ammonia is a oxygen scavaging gas , it took about 40mins to clear enough to go back into the van, I since removed the fridge and found a small crack in the cooling pipe which was corroded. The van is 2005 bailey and I doubt that the fridge's continous running time is more than 40wks since new, so I got in touch with Theford and explained the situation that the warranty was for 3yrs and mine had run for less than a year and paying out at least £600 for a new fridge was out of the question , could they help me out of the situation as I thought was beyond my control, they came back with a stock answer "it's out of warranty" tough s**t, so if anyone knows of a Thetford N109 fridge or an equivalant I would be most grateful.
