Here is the difference in my view: Like you said, Norcold ponied up and took care of the problem way back when. Dometic is only offering us a band-aid, then leaving the rest for us to figure out........years after the fact. Will changing an element help extend the life of your refer? I think that's the question we are all asking now. I don't have a definite answer, but before spending the money, it's nice to have as much info as possible. Anyhow, that's what I was trying to help with.
If Dometic were replacing all affected cooling cores & elements like Norcold did (way back when), then I would have to agree that there wouldn't be much left to talk about. Tim
