Now my fridge blows either my GFI in the shop or when I use my Gen it blows the fuse on the fridge board. I replaced the board and the same problem? Yes I know I should replace the fridge, yes I have the recall I just don't have the money right now and a trip planned this weekend? I have 115 volts at the board before the fuse.

Have you ohmed the heaters? Sounds like a short.

I did they where 61 ohms but I tried a different approach I disconnect them from the board and the fuse did not blow so it must be them. What a pain to get them out!

Yes 61 ohms so I discounted them and it did not blow the fuse so it must be them?

First question would be have you tried it with the fridge unplugged, and did the breaker trip than. Second question would be is the fridge in auto once you turn it on? Sounds to me the element is bad causing the breaker to trip put the fridge on LP and see it it does it again.
