Norcold 120 volt heating element
I have a Norcold model 6162. It blows the 5 amp fuse on the power board at times. How many ohms should I read across the heating element ? How many amps should this heating element draw? I m...

If the barrel holding the 120v element has rusted you will need penetrating fluids I expect. Just do not put any flame on it.
Our 6162 had an empty barrel since it does not have the 12v element being a two way frig so you could just use that one.
When we put in the new cooling unit from RVcoolingunit.com I bought a new 120 element and put it in the spare barrel and hot wired it. Now if I loose my circuit board, etc I can manually operate the frig by plugging the spare element into the 120 volt AC outlet under the back of the frig. If I do not want to mess with replacing the dead element I will just plug the new one directly to the board.
I do not have the Ohm's reading range at hand but google will get it for you.
