The only sane answer Old-Biscuit… this is the reason the cooling unit business is booming and people are trying things like Amish built cooling units… while the Amish have a good experience with absorption fridges, it is with stationary units, they don’t have a lot of experience with RV use of them… although I believe the more efficient unit may be a little more tolerant to out of level use…
The thing is more tolerant doesn’t equate to good or lack of damage… only that it may be longer before it ruins the fluid and the cooling unit…
I have never found anyone in the repair business that recommended anything but level operation, and there is only one level… everything else is out of level… even the mfg. recommendation of comfortable only has to worry about short term warranty periods not long term life of the unit…
The difference between the old and new units IMHO is the new more tolerant units get hotter more often and to higher temperatures because of the more lenient mfg. recommendations causing cracking in the boiler area and the resulting fires that have become all too common…
Chris that is a great idea but it seems to restore operation when the temps cool, even though the condition causing the overheating hasn’t been corrected… I presume that is why the recall fixes prefer to put the unit into lockout… in short the out of level condition the caused the shutdown should not restore the power until the problem has been corrected…
All the unit in the website does is allow continued use when a dangerous condition exist…
