Re: Dometic Refer Recall - Possible Fire Hazard -Update 2/13/07
For those who have pulled the electric element and read 325 watts imprinted on the rod...don't be fooled. I almost was, then upon reading more posts, I used an ohm meter to check the resistance. Per the Dometic specs in their own documents, it should show 44 plus or minus 10%. My element is stamped at 115 volts and 325 watts, however, 38.3 ohms....making it a 354 watt. I am going to replace it with a new element and then do the recall as a preventative measure. I can't believe that Dometic put these in with the stamp of 325 watts. Isn't that a little deceptive? And further more, they are not planning to replace the element that they claim is at the root of the issue. Again, don't be fooled by the stamp on the element!181Views0likes0Comments
