Now I know to bend the bracket and fuse so it is well clear of the boiler and heating element :(.
Chris,
Can you clarify "well clear," please?
I assume the principal point of the thermal fuse is to stop the flow of gas if the fridge catches fire while running on gas. There wouldn't seem to be a safety related need for the fridge to shut off if running on electric.
Since I use my fridge on gas 98% of the time, I realize I need the fuse for safety reasons, but I don't want it blowing while the fridge is operating normally.
I'm guessing that the fuse need not be especially close to the boiler if it is intended to be blown by the flames from a coolant fire. Almost anywhere inside the containment shield would seem to be adequate.
Am I missing something here?
