Malcolm,

Thanks for the info. I'll know in a day or two if there is any chance of
this thing working after I flip it for the night and shake the piss out of
it.

The only other possibility I have (and it's reaching) is the 110v heating
element is out of spec. According to the dometic troubleshooting manual the
OHM reading on that unit should be approx. 169ohm but I'm only hitting
137ohm. This is out of spec for their 10% rule they specify. Believe me it
gets scary hot, but is it hot enough? Any comments?

I could manually override the switch and run the 12v and 110v elements at
the same time to generate more heat, but that may be to much and ruin the
boiler/chemicals (per manual).

If I decided to build my own cabinet (I hate to ruin the westy look but
common sense has to prevail sometime!) I'll let you know on the parts!

Shawn

There is a alternative fridge that will fit depth wise, but it is too
tall... but ... I plan to just raise the westy sink cabinet enough for it to
fit, as I and my wife find the westy sink to low to be comfortable to
use....... and ..... if one designes the lift right, there will be toe room
at the bottom (like in your kitchen).

I posted my recent reserach at:

and in return for these ideas  :-)  IF! you decide to 'toss' your fridge,
I'm looking for some
parts.   thanks.  Malcolm
