Re:Need Help with New Oven
As I (and others) have posted, let me encourage you to replace the main 30-amp tubular bayonet fuse holder with either an automotive flat blade type fuse holder (about $3 at Wal-Mart), or a self-resetting 30-amp in-line circuit breaker (about $4 at an RV or automotive store). Several folks (myself included) have experienced overheating in the OEM fuse holder, which breaks the connection to the fuse. No, nothing bad happens, except that you suddenly lose all 12-volt power. But it is annoying.
Replacing the fuseholder is quick and easy in the comfort of your own driveway on a sunny day. On the other hand, a field replacement is a pain at the best of times, and of course the failure never happens at the best of times.
