I tested mine by turning off the fridge and waited a couple hours until the heat elements were cold. I then plugged in the fridge and within a minute they were too hot to touch. My fridge has 2 heater elements so I had to test one, then let it cool down before testing the other one.
thanks, being an hour from from my camper I can't wait for the fridge to do it's thing......
so i checked on the fridge today again after running on electric all night. inside of the fridge temp was the same as outside.
I felt the heating element and it was certainly hot. I checked the resistance on the element and it was 43.3 Ohms, and that's what's its should be. Manual says 44 but darn close enough. I also checked the voltage to the element and it was 124VAC, so that was good too.
So the heating element appears to be working, its hot, resistance check checks out,and it is placed in the hole on the flume where it should be, but the fridge is not even a little cool on electric, nadda, nothing. but works great on gas.
Fridge is still under warranty, so I will have to bring it to the dealer i guess, nothing else I can check.
Cheers
