After further thought on this I am going to recant my earlier statements and suggestions. They were meant for discussion purpose only. I have come to the realization that I get absolutely no benefit for sharing my opinion here, yet I am potentially opening myself up for liability. How smart is that? So please let me repeat. Do not make any unauthorized mods or changes to your refer. If you do, you do at your own risk! I will go back and edit or delete my prior posts. Tim
I've been reading this threat since it started last year. You have brought a great deal of experience and information to all of us here.
I have read through your 'suggestions' and decide that they made sense to me. I have since installed a lower wattage element and installed it in the 12 volt slot.
I made the the decision to do this, NOT you. If anything goes wrong it is my responsibility, NOT yours. No one held a gun to my head while I made the 'suggested' changes.
But I understand your concerns. After all in today's society, NO ONE is responsible for their actions- it's always someone elses fault.
But one thing I do intend to do after the 'fix' is installed. I be going back to using our refer on propane almost 100% of the time. That's the way we have been using our refer for the last three years. Then there is no concern about how these welds hold up with different wattage elements.
