Todd for Model Number EF48BDCBSS Here we go again. Did they ever redesign this drain pan/heater kit? I am on my 4th drain pan in 10 years with this $7,000.00 Dacor refrigerator. I believe this is a poor design. I had 2 replaced under the extended warranty I purchased by the local Dacor repair rep. Funny thing is, it was leaking water just like everyone else is having issues with and he told me a heater failed and he would replace it with a new one. He returned a week or so later and started replacing it. I pulled out my Fluke 87 meter and checked the old pan to the new pan and both heaters ohmed out the same at 1.3k. I asked him what the deal was and he told me that they (Dacor) are also having him unplug a thermistor on the evaporator and I think he said it keeps the heater energized longer. He admitted that there was not a problem with the pan. I had to replace the pan he installed 2 or 3 years later in June of 2014 along with the defrost thermostat and a few weeks ago that one started leaking again. I just finished pulling it out to check and both heaters are at 1.3k just like they were new. I'm finding that the water is leaking through the pan near where the outlet tube is and I'm thinking all the other pans were doing the same. I hate to drop another few hundred bucks on a new one if they didn't change the design. Thanks, Todd
