And I should add that there was clear evidence (AFAIK) that a rodent
had been chewing on things in area at rear of fridge.

I can't see heat from the exhaust pipe doing this damage but I could be wrong.

I only mention this as that damage is part of what spawned my
suspicions on wire damage.    :)

To the WetWestie list: I'll stop CC this thread now.    :)
