The device will stop the partial over time of operating out of level damage. When un level, the boiler does reach a higher temp. So, if this device shuts down when off level enough to cause damage, then that is a good thing to have. NOW, to the high temp parameters. LOTS of confusion and misinformation. The Norcold Recall kit just shuts the refer down if the boiler temp goes over 700 degrees. Normal operating temp is about 350 degrees. The 700 is usually what will occur when you have a blocked or a LEAKED cooling unit. So, when the boiler cannot cause the chemical reaction of the Ammonia, the temp rapidly rises and the Norcold Recall Thermister sees that and locks out the refer. Norcold refers already have an out of level parameter, called a NO CO. When a normal cool down cycle cannot happen because of ANYTHING including out of level, the refer will shut down and throw the NO CO code to prevent ruining the Cooling Unit. It will continue to do that until you find and fix the problem. So, if you are a pessimist or just a worrier, then spend the $120, and you will have piece of mind. There are MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of RV refers out there and if fires were a BIG problem, there would be a LOT more evidence of it. Doug
