I used emery inside the tube rolled into a tube and worked it up and down. The new tube slid in easy. Good luck. I think the new one was 425 watts. If you could find a higher wattage one it would heat better.
This is where misinformation can cause problems. The Heating element on this model refer is 300 watts. Putting in any wattage heater HIGHER than the model is rated for can cause problems with the welds because the higher wattage will cause excess heat. This is exactly what Dometic had with their recall.

If using a higher wattage element would increase cooling capacity or time, then they would install one on ALL their units. Doug
