My problem is the thermal fuse

The thermo disc pop out on mine did not trip.

Im buying a thermal fuse only not the 61 dollar part you linked. I will install fuse where i removed orginal fuse. Couple bucks for just the fuer

The WIRED Thermal fuse is a FLAME fuse. If the unit catches fire from a leaking Cooling Unit AT THE BURNER, the flames melt/burn that Thermal fuse and shuts power down to the refer. In the 15 or so years since Dometic started installing that wired Fuse, I have NEVER had one fail. Doug

Their in lines the real issue.....
It only shuts down power to fridge AFTER A FIRE.

:S

NO, It kills power to the Fridge when the fuse melts. With NO source(LP flame) to keep the flame GOING, the flame snuffs out. You can have a BAD flame from a dirty burner and/or rodent/insect nests that would cause a flame flare out of the burner area and that fuse would shut down the refer also. Doug

Your words (highlighted)......and I responded to those

OK, lets state this. You have a Fire suppression system in your Auto or house. You complain that it only functions AFTER a fire starts:B Doug

PS, THAT is the PURPOSE of that Flame fusible wire. To STOP the source of the flame.
