I have looked through the forums and have not found what I am looking for however my question is more appliance related in an electronics form.
What I have is a freezer that the defrost heater went out on and is no longer manufactured. The original heater was 300 watts on a 110 line. What I have found as the lowest wattage heater is 575w.
Now here is the question.... If I place two 110v 575w heaters in series I am under the understanding that the voltage will be divided however will the wattage also drop? Will it divide by half giving two 287.5 heater elements? Any help is appreciated.
