Subject:Use thermal paste on Dometic heating element?
From:neil

Hi all.

Regarding the Dometic 182A/B

Had read of replacing thermal paste between aluminum cooling fins and
tube it attaches to. (inside fridge) I understand that with age, the
original paste starts to dry up. New application of paste would help
conductivity bewteen the two pieces.

Has anyone tried using this same paste between the heating element and
the tube it resides in?

The idea obviously being that a better transfer of heat may occur.

Maybe too hot for paste?

Just a thought.

Neil.
