      If it’s that specific that it happens at an exact temperature, it sounds like an intentional “fuck you” switch on that model disabling it and not an actual physical limitation.

      That sounds like a scam… Like you only need a small resistance heater to keep the thing running. But yeah the double things have another operating range again idk how it works exactly, but the minimum temperature shouldn’t be a big issue to solve, even with electricity. -17°C isn’t that cold either, i would be super pissed if my heater stops working the coldest days of the year… Every year… Because that happened to me with a gas boiler once, it broke on Christmas and nobody could fix it for over a week because the replacement wasn’t in stock because a part broke that tje technician didn’t know that it even can break :/
