I opened my fridge last night when I got to the boat and smelled a chemical smell. Not burned wire but could not place it. I reached back into the back and grabbed a package of grated cheese and it was warm. It was right under the light. Upon closer inspection I found the plastic cover had a burned and melted spot and molten plastic had welded the bulb into the socket. I closed the door to figure out if the light goes out or not and found that if the door closed gently the seal keeps the switch from closing. If I push to compress the seal light goes out. I think I found out partially why my
power bill seemed to double from when my 44 was plugged in!
