A question for the RV reefer technicians. Have any of you found any failed unit where the measured resistance of the element was near that (44 ohms) specified by Dometic? In reviewing the posts it is becoming apparent (to me anyway) that the failed units had elements well to the low side of the tolerance allowed by Dometic. The lower the resistance, the higher the wattage and the greater the heat output? Certainly easy enough to check the resistance of the existing element.
