Freeze Heaters

[Pete Masterson]

That good to know. I note that the _thermostat_ for the under-galley
Perfectoe electric heater is located on an exterior wall. In the
current weather situation, it runs constantly even with the
thermostat set to a very low temperature. (It was 9 degrees early
this AM.) I realized that the cold from the outside was reaching the
thermostat through the wall... I'd expect that the heat tape is very
needed in those locations behind the sink cabinets and in the wire
chase where I observed it.
