I'm in the process of troubleshooting a failed AC heat element in my Norcold 9182 fridge. Before I dig out my test meter I wanted to see if the element would move in its mounting sleeve. Mine appears to be rusted solid and will not twist. Has anyone come across this and how did you free up the element? I wonder if a soaking of PB Blaster would be OK to use? Any thoughts?

Naval Jelly has ALWAYS worked for me to dissolve rust. Since it's a "jelly" instead of a liquid, you just have be patient and wait a bit on it eventually penetrating in between tight fitting rusted parts.
