We received a notice in the mail about our refrigerator that would over time get a crack and the fumes are flammable so we need to get it fixed immediately. We are scheduled to get it done next week but we think with their apology they should also pay for our gas to get to the service department that we go to. We have to travel approximately 200 miles round trip so the trip is quite expensive when you have to haul our 29 foot travel trailer. We only average about 6-7mpg when we pull it. Thank you and hope that they will pay for gas. *tr
