I got the Dometic heating element in today. I got it installed and everything wrapped up. I turned the refrigerator on at 1:10 and at that time the freezer temp was 70 degrees and the water I had in the fridge was 60 degrees. At around 4 the freezer was down to about 10 degrees and the fridge was at about 45 degrees. So I shut it off since I am going to be out of town until Monday. So I think it is working good. I messed with the electrode a little more but can not get it to spark. So I have a new electrode on the way. Hopefully that will take care of my problem. Oh yeah the tube being welded up higher I was not afraid it would not work right. I was just showing why the heating element sets higher and the plate wont fit around it like original. So I cut mine up higher and then pop riveted a piece of duct metal to it to make the opening the same size as it was factory. Probably would not matter but it makes me feel better. I might be back if I cant get the new electrode working. Thanks
