I just took my unit which is a 1200 in last Thursday, for the recall, it took about half an hour to install. I did watch to see just what was done. They place a thermocouple about 6 - 8 inches above the burner. When he cut the insulation off in this area, that boiler area is quite rusty. They place this TC tight against the boiler tube, and use a stainless steel hose clamp and torque the clamp with a small torque wrench. I can see that if this area is real rusty, and they were to tighten this clamp too tight it could possibly rupture the tube. So far mine is working ok. I did not even realize that there was a recall, on these units until I got to snooping around these forums. My fridge was likely built in the 2000-2002 time frame, and did have to replace the board, and used a Dinosaur, replacement. I also replaced the flame sensor/sparker at the same time, as the board. The unit has served me well so far. I certainly would recommend the Dino board, to anyone that should happen to have a failure of there board. I guess if my cooling unit does happen to fail, I will have to look at the Amish replacement. So far since the high temp sensor install its doing ok. George
