Has anyone actually seen an element stamped "354"?
I personally have not as I've never had to change out a defective one of that size. Mind you, this recall issue has a lot of people scrutinizing their fridges a lot closer these days.

Have any of you found any failed unit where the measured resistance of the element was near that (44 ohms) specified by Dometic?
Up until this recall, I had never associated a failed unit with a faulty element, so there was really no reason to suspect that higher wattage would cause a failure. Other than a totally incorrect element installed in the unit. Also, previously failed cooling units may have leaked in totally different regions. A very common area is behind the freezer plate and that wouldn't have been caused by the element.
