I think the only reason why Dometic include a thermal cut off in their kit is to cut the power (12 V & 120V & gas) in case of a boiler tube failiure.


Yes, I agree, by what is the fusible link inside the sheet metal housing for? is it there to cut power during a flash fire, or to cut power if the element draws too much power? Tim


The fuseable link is to kill power in case of fire. It is connected in series with the thermodisc in the DC power line.
Hope this helps.
