"Stormin Mormon"

Of course, the defrost lead will only be drawing amperage if the bimetal
is
cold enough. But, that confuses things.

I have thought about the clamp on meter, after I posted it. Tried to feel
the plastic cover in the freezer, but it's not good enough indication. It
seems that the bottom of the back panel is a bit warmer, which is where the
heater is.

Why do you say that it confues things? It seems like the only good test, I
can think of.
