Dehumidifier recall due to fire hazard - RV-Dreams Community Forum

Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.

We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Dehumidifier recall due to fire hazard	Permalink

I'm not sure how many Dreamers have dehumidifiers in their rigs but I just saw this recall in regard to "Gree" brand products. Gree dehumidifiers are branded under many names including - *Danby, De’Longhi, Fedders, Fellini, Frigidaire, GE, Gree, Kenmore, Norpole, Premiere, Seabreeze, SoleusAir and SuperClima.* Mine aren't in the trailer but I have two that are on the list. Here is the link to the recall: http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2014/Gree-Reannounces-Dehumidifier-Recall/#remedy and a link to an article: http://fox43.com/2014/05/16/recall-dehumidifiers-recalled-due-to-serious-fire-and-burn-hazards/#axzz31nvBFZTE I was on hold for over 10 minutes and spoke with the CSR for another 10. End result - they send a return kit to the house to have the faulty units sent back to them and then issue a refund check. It'll be anywhere from 6-12 weeks before the check arrives from the time they are notified and the process starts. Just wanted to give a heads up - these are causing fires - and we all know how well that goes in an RV. See ya's on the road :) __________________ Sean & Christine - and the pups, Samantha and Apollo 2013 Open Range 417RSS 2008 Ford F350 Dually
