A couple of years ago when I thought I needed a new DC heating element for my RM3663, I found that they were out of production and unavailable. IIRC it’s a 215 watt element, and I found a parts dealer that had an element they claimed was a suitable substitute for it. I bought it, noted that it was about 25 watts “hotter” than the OEM, and installed it.
Ran it overnight to make sure it was good, and it appeared to be working ok. When I got up in the morning, the fridge was warm, and when checking the DC fuse I found that the fuse was good, but the fuse connectors soldered to the Dinosaur control board had gotten hot enough to blacken the board around them. I returned the new element for a refund.
