Hi
I used a gasmate element which only cost $10... Although they slugged me $15 for post
The gasmate ones are only 90W and are slightly wider than the Chescold (F400) ones, but will work. It didn't fit in the slot designed for the element, so I wired it next to it and it stilled worked - took a while to chill and wouldn't freeze. You may be able to
bore out the slot to make the element fit - it wouldn't take much.
Phone Sitro and ask them for an element for a Gasmate 3 way fridge if you're keen.
Cheers, Will.

Hi
Just remember it will NOT cool as
well in higher temps.
YOu are looking @ 30% LESS heat input & that is what makes the fridge work.
IF you only use it in cold areas or just want a cooler ok but you may be very disappointed if trying to use it as a fridge.
