QUOTE I've had 2 of the recalls I did fail this way- that's actually a thermal fuse, but they way the bracket is designed, it rests against hot metal. The fuse is rated at 152°C, and the limit switch is 130°C.
Now I know to bend the bracket and fuse so it is well clear of the boiler and heating element :) QUOTE
I will check mine shortly but as an interim "roadside fix" in case of an unexpected failure can the diode be bypassed and the reefer run without it in the circuit. I would expect that I could lift the two wires from the device, connect them together and operate the reefer until a proper repair could be made (these kind of failures usually happen, in my experience, on a Saturday evening 200 miles from the closest RV shop)
