Well, before chastizing the Dometic rep, there may be something positive in that statement.
The recall kit comes with a fusible link (in addition to the thermal cutoff), from what I've been told and this may be the protection from out-of-range elements. Don't forget, if the ohms are low, the amperage goes up with constant 120VAC. The fusible link may be in the element circuit. Perhaps this is what he was talking about.
Good point. Perhaps this part of the recall was designed by Dometic's bean counters (fusible links are a lot cheaper than elements). If this is Dometic's response to the out of limit elements, I would still feel a lot better with a new element.......even if I had to pay out of pocket. Tim
